Product Description

Canon lens hoods are one of the most important accessories for each lens you own. A lens hood provides multiple functions: it shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens and it protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles. Almost all EF and TS-E lenses have a Canon lens hood engineered specifically for it. For Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L Lens

This is a good lens hood, but it comes with the lens so I shouldn't have purchased it separately. The lens info of the lens does not indicate that the hood comes with it.

It looks like a couple of us have made the same mistake. Don't buy this because the 70-200 f4/0L already comes with it. I now have 2.

Well, it looks as though at least three of us have gotten stuck with an extra hood, sold separately, when purchasing this telephoto lens.
