Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EW78BII Lens Hood for EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Canon SLR Lens
Customer Review: indispensable
Summary: 5 Stars
A lens hood is indispensable for so many reasons -- to protect the lens, to keep flare from ruining the pic being the two most important -- but a properly made one is even more so. The way this Canon lens hood is cut prevents the hood from getting in the way of the picture, and it gives you easy access to get the lens cap off or to even rotate a polarizing filter (you still have to be careful so you don't slip and get a fingerprint on the filter).
The Canon lens hood goes on and off in just a second, and it's easy to store in your camera back if you take it off and turn it around, then place it over the lens. On the occasions I forget to bring it with me, I have to change the way I shoot or have my husband act as a lens hood! So yes, I would say it's indispensable, and at this price, a no-brainer.
Customer Review: Great Bang for Buck Value
Summary: 5 Stars
I just recently got this lens hood and took it out to a park to try it out. I thought my EF 28-135 took good shots before... I was pleasantly surprised at the results of using this relatively cheap add-on. In a bright environment lens flare can be present in a subtle way, taking out some shadow depth and "bleaching" out a shot. This hood helps prevent that and really had an impact on my shots.
The hood itself is well built, made of high end plastics and the inside has a soft fabric coating to absorb light and protect your lens. It locks onto the front of the lens quickly and is easily removed when not wanted. You can also use this hood in conjunction with a lens filter, so you don't have to compromise between the two.
Again, you can't beat the bang for buck value here.

Summary: 5 Stars
This lens hood fits the Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens and I always have it with me when I carry that lens. It is plastic, but well-built - I haven't had any problems with cracking or discoloration. You'll want a lens hood mainly for the way it benefits the quality of your images - any stray light hitting your lens element has an effect, from the more obviously-seen lens flare to more subtle overall hazing and low contrast in your image.
Ever since I started using lens hoods I've noticed a dramatic improvement in my images. For the 28-135mm lens, the hood is sold separately, but don't think that means it's unessential - you should have a lens hood for every lens you own.
Customer Review: A good Canon lens hood
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used lens hoods on all of my lens since I first started doing pro photography almost 30 years ago. I feel the hoods protect the front of the lens. I also always have a UV filter on my lens, which would also protect the glass, but I feel the hood would go a little farther in protecting the lens from bumps and falls. This petal shaped hood for the Canon 28-135 lens will protect the glass and help keep stray light off my subject.I've alway used Canon hoods on my Canon lens. True, they cost a little more, but they are made so well, I think it's worth it.Customer Review: Quality lens hood
Summary: 5 Stars
This lens hood is everything I hoped it would be. The quality is excellent: it even has a felted inside surface to reduce reflection, and it's made in Japan. When combined with the 28-135mm canon USM lens, however, there is some usability annoyance. If you have the hood "stowed" (clipped on pointing toward the camera body), you can't adjust the zoom. When the hood is in its proper position, you can't easily take off the stock lens cap! If only canon provided center-pinch lens caps with their lenses...
