This hood does a fabulous job as a protective device and as a shade for lighting issues across the lens.
I got my Canon EOS Rebel XSI as a gift and it came with a great 18-55mm lens. The hood is actually in the way
for vertical and standard distant flash shots. This is no fault of the hood. It should probably be used
on a longer lens.

This filter works fine for a lot less than the dedicated canon filter.My only wish would be a twist on mount instead of a threaded one.

I ordered a opteka lens hood that turned out to be faulty. I was greatly disappointed. I wrote an e-mail to Amazon and in turn was contacted by the shipper telling me a new one was on the way. It arrived in good condition and works fine. Am now a happy camper!! Thank You...........R
Don't waste your money by .. R. Glenn (Gold Beach, OR)
I 'm as much at fault for purchasing this lens hood as the manufacturer is for selling it. It's a cheap knockoff of the Canon slip notch lens hood. Spend the extra cash on the Canon. Don't bother kidding yourself and spending the money on the Opteka. I even read the reviews and thought, it can't be that bad and the price was great!. You get what you pay for. On the three Canon lenses I have, I can only screw this cover on about 1/8 of the way, and 9/10 it's on cross threaded. I'm afraid of damaging the threads on my lens. It's not worth the cost of shipping to return it so it will collect dust in a corner somewhere until it gets tossed out with the trash. Think quality and longevity, not price!!

This lens hood was not easy to mount on the lens and because it's plastic the screw threads could be damaged.
