Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon ET-65B Lens Hood for EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 IS and DO IS USM Lenses
Customer Review: Does what it says
Summary: 3 Stars
A little flimsy, it already has a small crack, but does what it says. Baby it.Customer Review: Good design, bad materials
Summary: 2 Stars
I was deeply dissapointed in this lens hood. Given that the cost is about 10% of the cost of the lens for which it was intended (the 70-300 IS in this case) I expected it to be of stiff durable polycarbonate.
-Positives-
fulfills the basic function of a lens hood- prevents flare, etc.
The bayonet locking system is excellent, much easier to deal with than scew-on type lens hoods.
that's about it.
-Negatives-
The polycarbonate is so thin I half expect it to be translucent.
The hood must be gripped by the base to remove it, as grippng the thin end of the hood may break it; or at least it feels like it may break it.
Its very long. Especially on the 70-300 which is already a long lens, this makes a fully extended zoom about a foot long. That's pretty conspicuous.
It's very overpriced vs. generic lenses ($50 vs. $5-10 for rubber or metal).
I traded it in and went with a kalt rubber lens hood. 2 stars for the great bayonet design, but the rest of it is weak.
Customer Review: expensive lens hood
Summary: 2 Stars
This lens hood is a good product for which it is intended. It should cost half as much as it does, it was $40.00 and to me that is way over priced.
