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 EW-73B Lens Hood is designed for the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Item being reviewed Opteka EW-73B Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM SLR Lens Opteka EW-73B Lens Hood for Canon EF-S, July 6, 2008

For less than half the price of Canon Hood, this is a very good buy. I don't normally write review, but I do here so other buyers have more confidence aboutthis product. This Opteka lense hood does what it supposes to do: cover and protect the lenses.
So far I'm happy with this item.

5.0 out of 5 stars Affordable replacement for a Canon hood, May 12, 2010

This review is from: Opteka EW-73B Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM & 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lenses (Electronics)
I got this lens hood for my Canon 18-135mm 3.5-5.6f lens.

After reading the reviews I was worried about the construction quality or fit on my lens, but when I got it I was quickly relieved.

The price was the main attraction, and the quality of the item did not suffer for it.

The plastic is sturdy, and my lens has been spared the occasional bump by the hood.

It is also very easy to put on and take off. Its fits perfectly, and isn't too loose or too tight.

Finally, it does its job in preventing lens flare, etc... while shooting. If you need a lens hood, this is a cheap, high quality substitute for a Canon brand hood.

It works. Nothing to complain about except that a piece of plastic costs about $16.
