 Good Quality May 14, 2008
Arrived on-time and in advertised condition. A bit pricey but hey... Its got the Canon logo!
good match April 8, 2008

The hood seems sturdy and is a perfect fit for the 50mm lens. It has a soft 'lining' on the inside of the hood, presumably to cut down on glare. I think it works well. Why 4 starts instead of 5. The soft lining is a lint and dust magnet. Maybe it'll keep it off the lens, but I don't know how to clean it. Maybe a small lint roller will work? It fits better than the Opteka hood I bought for another lens. That one didn't have the soft lining either.
I'm not sure if the soft lining is a good thing or not. Time will tell.
Quick shipment.
Solid Canon quality, but expensive February 28, 2008
The overall quality of the lens hood is as you'd expect from Canon. There's the little felt interior which supposedly deflects light better than smooth plastic which allows them to justify the 32 bucks for a few ounces of plastic. Otherwise it does a solid job and it proves useful outside in the sun and also last weekend when I took my camera to the aquarium and took pictures flush to the tanks.

does exactly what it is supposed to do.

sure, it has a velvitish interior to create
even less glare...
but

such an item.

The lens hood is exactly as described and works well. It's a 5 out of 5 for functionality. It protects my lens and also reduces incident light. It does exactly what a piece of plastic around my lens should.
That said, I also have to rate products considering what the price should be. Was it complicated to make? Are the materials expensive? For something that cost a couple dollars to make, I don't think it should be selling for (the low low price of) fifteen times that. So, Canon gets a 0 out of 5 stars for that. So, I rate this a 2.5 stars out of 5 overall. If I had to do it over, I'd probably go to an auction site and buy a generic brand hood for 1/3 of the price.
update: i recently bought a generic hood for my canon 10-22mm and it feels as good as the canon hoods (less than 1/3rd the cost). i'll be buying generic from now on. enough with the canon hood price gouging.
