Product Description

Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Dedicated lens hoods are designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.

I already broke the lens hood to my 24-150mm f/4L IS USM lens. I also spent more than $5000 on camera equipment this month and couldn't justify to hubby putting us in the poor house for "just one more thing," and figured this would at least work better than super gluing the broken one back together (if that would work at all).

SO... it arrived quickly, and it fits on my lens. However, it does seem kind of snug in an odd way as described by others (kept going on crooked at first), and it is lacking the flocking (which reduces light reflection better than matte black paint) of the Canon one. I decided I could skip lunch on the days when I'm home alone and find the budget money to replace it with a real Canon one after all. This one will be a spare for if I ever need it again, but I really like the Canon one much better.

Could not ask for much more. The fit was great, not too tight at all, and the price can't be beat.

This lens hood fits too tight. I'm concerned that the lens may be damaged. Perhaps it can be shaved down somehow to fit, but the one I received is too tight.
