Product Description

The addition of a lens hood can help prevent flares--those circles of light that can accompany images where a strong light source is just outside the fame. These types of lens flares occur when indirect light rays pass through the front lens elements but don't make it all the way through to the image sensor. Opteka's ET-67B Lens Hood is designed for the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens. 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. This dedicated lens hood is designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.

This review is from: Opteka ET-67B Lens Hood for the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens (Electronics)

Opteka ET-67B Lens Hood is definitely not worth the price. It's not easy to attach and detach the hood.
It doesn't fix my canon 60mm F2.8 macro well. The first time I used it, I couldn't mount it into my lens. Because it's is very tight, I think that it could damage my lens. Fortunately, its plastic is softer than the plastic on my canon 60mm. I saw a small mount of plastic fell out.

I wish I bought Canon hood.
