This review is from: Canon ET-67B Lens Hood for EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens (Electronics)

Pros:
- Reduces flare and ghosting when shooting in bright light.
- Helps protect your lens from dirt and scratches.
- Somewhat protects the lens in case of a fall. Better to break the hood than the front element.
- Makes you look more like you know what you are doing and helps to keep others from carelessly walking in front of you.

Cons:
- Will increase lens movement in windy situations, kind of like a sail on a boat.
- Takes up more room in your bag, even when reversed they still add to the diameter of the lens.
- People take more notice of you, will help to blow your cover if you are trying to keep a low profile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Also an excellent hood for the EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro, May 4, 2009

This hood also fits the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro. IMHO better fit as it is smaller and because at minimum focusing distance, the hood is further away from the subject so not to cast shadow or cover the subject.

Plus it's a bit cheaper than the original ET-67 for that lens.

I'm not sure that I should have spent over $25 on this simple plastic lens hood. For macro work, flare is seldom an issue for me. I guess that its function as "air bag" lens protection may make the investment less painful some day if I manage to drop the camera or lens. "Canon" is an expensive word when it comes to accessories.
