Customer Reviews:

simple, effective [Posted on 2008-09-17]
works fine. wish it were made out of metal though. the plastic feels a little cheap. the inside of the hood is coated with a nice matte fuzzy material to avoid reflecting light; a really nice touch.

Fits the lens well [Posted on 2008-10-12]
I was considering a third party lens hood for about half the price for my Canon EF 50mm f/1.4. After reading some of the reviews stating that the third party hoods sometimes are either too tight or too loose I purchased this Canon ES71II and have no complaints about it. It fits the lens very well - not too tight not too loose. Maybe a bit on the tighter side, but it's not a problem.

Overall, this hood does what it has to do, albeit for somewhat high price (as for a simple piece of plastic and felt)

Does the trick - a must have accessory [Posted on 2008-11-16]
A little pricy but you gotta have it if you have the Canon f1.4 lens. It reverses on the lens for compact packing in your bag. These hoods aren't as needed for low light conditions obviously but I use it all the time if for nothing else but to add some protection to the front of this little lens.

Very Good Lens Hood [Posted on 2008-11-23]
This lens hood was purchased for Canon 50mm 1.4 lens.
It is good and performs as designed. Highly recommended.
No complaints other than Canon should include lens hoods
with all lenses, should not have to purchase separately and
Pricey for plastic is why only 3 stars.

Some rob you with a gun.... [Posted on 2008-12-23]
Canon knows that this is a must if you have an expensive lens to protect so they pick your pocket for this $3.95 piece of plastic. Yes it fits well and is nicely made, but $31, should come with a tube of Vaseline... Watcha gonna do?
