Product Description

The Lens Hood is one of the most important accessory you need for each lens you own.A lens hood provides multiple functions: preventing image-degrading lens flare by blocking stray light from striking the surface of the lens, it enables your lens to give you the sharpest photographs with the best contrast and most vivid colors, 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.

Inconsistant to the ad, this hood does not fit to my Canon 18-55 mm lens that I use for Canon EOS XSi. Simply, I cannot attach this hood onto my lens. I believe the screw is not made for this lens.
DB Roth once shipped the item I ordered to a wrong place but I just thought it was a simple mistake. This time, I have emailed this problem and waiting more than 24 hours for their response.

I purchased this for the lens that came with my Canon T1i. Initially I was pleased as this fit well over the UV filter on lens. However, I was very disappointed to notice that when I fully zoomed out you could see the edges of the lens hood. I would not recommend purchasing if one has a UV filter they like keeping on their lens.

It did not fit the lens as advertised. Very disappointed, especially for the price paid.
