Canon ET-65B Lens Hood March 20, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
C'mon, Canon, it's a piece of plastic! Include the darn thing in the price of the lens!
That being said, it does its job well for a felt-lined piece of plastic, just a bit pricey, but what are the alternatives? It is better to shoot with the hood than without, for the reduction of unwanted glare, and it does give additional protection to your lens' front element. I didn't give it a 5 simply because it is way too expensive for what it is.

It's a lens hood, what can you say -- but I do like that you can put it on the lens backward, so when you don't want to use it you don't need a place in your bag for it, and it also fits in the bag with the hood on.
Cannon Hood for EF 70-300 mm lens January 12, 2007

Hood is well manufactured and works excellent for its application. However, I am disappointed that it costs so much, while similar hoods for other lenses are reasonably priced.

Overpriced? Sure.
Useful? Of course, and in several ways. On a recent vacanza a Italia, the hood proved its worth not only as an excellent flare mitigator, but protected the front elements from damage (and I generally consider my gear babied) made possible by careless other tourists. Of course, the hood was a necessity during lengthy evening/night exposures, as well, in heavily traveled areas (Spanish Steps) because of the large doses of light provided streetlamps.
A slotted hood might ultimately provide better flare oblation across the entire zoom range, but this hood does its job.
For those who wonder, the hood works with both the DO and non-DO 70-300mm lenses.
For the record, I won't drop the star rating because of an excessive price. Protect your kit - and your exposure plane: use a hood.
 Good design, bad materials October 20, 2006

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.
