The hood looks good, and protects the lens. Just a note, it fits my Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens perfectly.

This review is from: Canon ET60 Lens Hood for EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 SLR Lens (Electronics)

Works fine on the 55-250 IS - no vignetting or other issues affecting image or usage. It is a longer hood as should be expected for a 250 or 300 lens. The hood lacks the felt lining of some of the higher quality Canon hoods (contains only the matte black in the inner area). Reverses for storage - obstructs only part of the zoom ring at the wider end and the lens is still usable. The focus ring is obstructed but this is almost always the case with reversed hoods.

Users state this hood also fits the 18-55 IS kit lens - this is half-true. The lens hood will fit the 18-55 but vignette at wide angles. Therefore, it is not a valid lens hood substitute for the 18-55 IS. I own the proper 18-55 lens hood which is probably 1/4th the length of the 55-250 hood and does not vignette.

The hood will also obstruct the zoom ring on the 18-55 kit lens when reversed. This is not a major issue by itself but just notable.

One last note: 75-300 users beware that this hood only works on the newer renditions of the lens (IS or USM). *Older 75-300 lenses are not compatible.*

The ET60 fits the affordable Canon 300mm lens but if you're using it with, for example, a Rebel 300D or XT, it will also fit onto the standard 18-55mm lens -- however, when fully zoomed out, part of the hood is visible, creating somewhat of a circle in the frame. I happen to think it looks really cool, gives it a fisheye sort of feel. In regards to the 300 use, it seems to work pretty well and I use it at all times -- bright sun or late afternoon. As most people probably have said, lens hoods in general not only shade the lens from stray light or weird angles of the sun (which often, without a hood, makes the photo hazy or grey) but it also provides protection for the lens itself and filter. It's not much money if you're into photography, and it makes your lens look awesome. If you're a beginner and purchased a 300mm, you don't really need to get the hood. Keep it as something to look forward to once you've got some experience. Either way it's a nice piece to use.
