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.

This hood comes with the 70-200 lens and my local shop didn't stock it. They said it was a special order part and that it would take a week for it to come in. I ordered it on a friday, and received it on a Wednesday. Not bad. Thanks Amazon.

I needed a replacement hood for my Canon 70-200 f4 since I dropped mine and it cracked. This one works well. Just be sure not to drop it!

First of all, be warned. The 70-200 mm lens comes with the exact same lens hood. So don't buy it unless you broke/lost your original lens hood, like I did.

I got this hood with my 70-200 4.0 IS lens recently and I love it. The hood is a very tight fit and can be reversed on the lens for easier storage, not sure clones can do this. The IS product detail lists both hood and soft pouch included but the non IS lens doesn't mention anything about the two. Might be an oversight at Canon? My thoughts are any time a "L" lens is purchased a hood is likely included and maybe even a pouch. I always check the Canon site as to what can be expected. Next is to find out what the actual seller includes with the purchase. My opinion, you get what you pay for, providing you can afford it.

This came with the lens, and since it's supposed to help with contrast and avoid flare I try to use it all the time - even if it elicits even more reactions from people looking at an already not very discreet lens... I manage to store it reversed on the lens on a Lowepro case - barely but without forcing it.

Fits perfectly and does exactly what it should. Easy to get on and off. One of my friends has bought a knockoff of this and, even though it works, has trouble getting it to attach when he reverses it on the lens for storage, which causes it to rattle around on the lens. Once you have spent this much on a lens it does not make sense to me to cheap out on something that both protects it and makes images better.

Thanks for the reviews. I was about to purchase this hood -- but read your reviews and NOW WILL NOT purchase as I didn't know it was included with lens
