Product Description
Hoods are one of the most important accessories for each lens you own. A lens hood provides multiple functions: it shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality; in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens; and it protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles.This hood is compatible with EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM.

 a good hood November 18, 2008
It fits like a glove. It's pretty big though. The inside is a little fuzzy and attracts dust, but at least it's there and not on my lens. I usually keep my 100mm lens on my Canon Rebel, but it won't fit in my bag with the hood on. Instead of reversing it, I found the hood fits nicely in my camera bag if I slip it down over my 50mm lens (with it's hood on) in the side pocket. It works to protect the 50 and rides well there.
 Well, my Macro Lens needs it!! September 24, 2008

It's too $$$$ for a little black plastic, but I need it for my lens.
Overpriced, but genuine Canon build June 25, 2008
Should have come with the lens, but then, the lens would simply have had a higher price, right?
 Working good) April 5, 2008
Working good but ugly looking, no indicator for assembling, really bad surface material (scratch easily)
Useful, but expensive December 13, 2007

In addition to shading the lens from glare and preventing lens flare in your photos, a lens hood can also help protect the front element of your lens without degrading image quality (like a cheap UV filter, for example). When using on board or hot shoe flash, it may end up shading your subject from the flash.
After seeing the lens hood that came with my 24-105L, and comparing it to the one on my Tamron, I decided to go ahead, sacrifice a few lunches out, and get Canon hoods for my two other lenses. Sure, they're overpriced, but the 3rd party ones are overpriced as well even at half this price on eBay, and at least I know this one fits well.
I removed one star for the price. Otherwise it's perfect.
Pros:
Fits very well.
Inside is lined with a velvety material that will not reflect light.
Can be reverse mounted on 100mm macro for storage.
Cons:
Price.
Velvety material traps dust and dirt.
Needs to be removed to replace / remove lens cap (not really an issue with the hood - just need to get into the habit of removing cap before putting hood on).
