4.0 out of 5 stars Buyers: Take Note!, March 11, 2009

Buyers, if you are purchasing the 24-70 f/2.8 Lens, you will NOT need this hood.

The hood comes WITH the lens! So only purchase this if you need for a replacement or something of that nature. Otherwise you will have more than what you need.

Anyway:

Pros:
- Gets rid of lens flare
- Offers decent protection
- Reversible (To allow easy storage)

Cons:
- Grossly Over-Priced

The cost to make this is very (VERY) cheap, and the mark-up is just insane.

But I would advise not going with knock-offs due to poor construction and longevity.

3.0 out of 5 stars works perfectly but..., January 11, 2008

the hood works great. it does precisely what you would want a lens hood to do:
- protects the lens
- reduces incident light
- 'reverses' to fit around the lens, which is nice for storing in a camera bag (or backpack, in my case)

the price is absurd, not to mention you get the hood as a 'free' accessory when you buy the 24-70mm lens (ie, you pay for it when you get the lens). forget amazon trying to bundle this hood with the lens -- that's a scam, although, giving amazon the benefit of the doubt as they deserve, these were probably paired by a computer program. again canon screwing customers on pieces of plastic (if the user lost the original hood) that really costs canon only a couple dollars to make. the price is inflated because anyone with an L lens will want to replace a hood immediately to protect their expensive glass.

if i lost this hood, i would buy another but not by canon. i'd get a generic brand hood (probably on an auction site) that fits the lens and pay not even half as much than is demanded here. no matter the brand of plastic, the hood will help so i don't need to spend nearly fifty bucks on a canon brand piece of plastic.
