5 out of 5 stars You Do Need This   February 13, 2008
 0 out of 3 found this review helpful

So I shot with out a lens hood for quite sime time befor I got this hood. If you are an outdoor shooter then you really want to get this hood for your FE 28-135mm that may have come with your new 40D. I don't like using UV filter to protect my lends I just put this on. Every lends I buy I get a lends hood for it even my new 10-22mm. Thats all...


5 out of 5 stars Perfect Fit For The Canon EF 28-135mm IS/USM Lens   January 15, 2008
 6 out of 7 found this review helpful

I can't say much to argue the point that some others have mentioned about a cheaper version (from another manufacturer) being just as good as this model. I own only Canon lenses and I have always purchased genuine Canon Lens Hoods for them. This Canon EW78BII is a perfect fit for the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras. The hood seems pretty well made (although it is plastic), installs easily and fits perfectly.

I have only shot a few pictures since installing this lens hood, but I can honestly say that it offers a bit of improved contrast and definately cuts back on stray light hitting the lens. I particularly like the petal shape of this hood, vs a typical cylinder shape found on most larger zoom lens hoods. I have shot a handful of pictures using a flash, and there is no vignette shading anywhere on the photos. This is a wonderful feature, since it looks as though the hood will not need to be removed for indoor/flash photos. As far as protection goes, I don't know as though this hood will prove to be much of a lens saver. Still, every little bit of added protection helps. As others have pointed out, this hood WILL increase the amount of kit storage space in your bag, but if reversed at least it does not add extra height to the lens.

Overall I would recommend this lens hood, for improved picture quality, reduction of lens flare, and for some minor protection to the lens itself. I do agree that Canon has overpriced this lens hood, but what doesn't Canon overprice? All in all it is a well built, solid investment.

Bought this from Amazon, and its just what the Doctor Ordered. It definetly helps keep the sunlight out of the lens to reduce glare and hazing. Its a shame that Canon didnt include it in the actual Lens I purchased with my Canon Digital Camera Kit. Fits very nice and does a great job, you can also rotate the hood if you have some side light or vice versa.

This lens hood does it jobs as advertise. Many good points: Block light, Sturdy construction, felt liner for anti-reflect, look good, ...
One very bad point: If the Circular Polarized Filter is to use, then there is a serious problem to rotate the filter if this lens hood is attached.
Canon make this hood. Canon make the Circular Polarized Filter for this particular lens too. Canon did not think the combination of these two together in their design.
