I gave the Hood Hat three stars because the actual use is questionable. It goes over the lens to protect it from dirt and dust and other undesirable deposits you might encounter. It's sort of a storage device because when you're in the field using your camera, the last thing you need is a cover on your lens that might come off easily but requires both hands and some patience to put on again. Photo opportunities show up unexpectedly and taking this off and putting it on again doesn't make sense. As a cover when you're not using your camera, it's terrific.

I have been looking for an easier way to protect the front my my lens without having to either take off my lens hood or trying to fumble around with the lens cap with the hood still on. Op/Tech came up with the solution! All you have to do is stretch the proper size hood hat over the hood and everything is protected and ready to go. Super easy to take off, putting on takes a little more time, but you never miss a picture putting it on anyway. Basically this is an inexpensive way to add some extra insurance against getting dirt, water, etc on your front element while you are walking around looking for shots. It is also very flexible and easy to stick in a pouch or pocket when not being used.

I purchased this hood hat to protect my Canon 28-135 lens shade when not in use. It a well padded, great fitting product to keep the more expensive lens shaded protected from scratching while not in use. I would highly recommend purchasing one to protect your lens shade investment.

I have 2 different sizes and they both work well. The problem is still what do you do with it when it is taken off. Stick it in your pocket or bag I guess. I like to leave mine on, but it takes up too much room in my bag when attached to my lense. Over all it is ok and does work for a lense covering and is easy to remove.

High quality material, and sized appropriately for a snug fit. Only problem I have with it is that it is difficult to put on. Makes you think you need 3 hands to do it.
