Product Description

The Precision Design ET-60 Lens Hood is 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, such as the ET-60, are designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for. Compatible with the following Canon lenses: Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 USM Lenses; Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 II Lenses; Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 II USM Lenses; Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III USM Lenses; Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III Lenses; Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS Lens

5.0 out of 5 stars Precision Design ET-60 Lens Hood for Canon EF 70-300 f/4.0-5.6 USM, II, USM III,, April 19, 2008

This hood looks and connects like the Canon brand. I found the design and quality to be as fuctional and the Canon brand as a lesser price. I recommend this as a smart choice for photographers on a limited budget. This hood can be installed backwards on the lens to add in space management in your camera bag.
The first installation on my lens was real tight, but careful installation and removal several times corrected the the possible problem of fit and it loosened enough to allow normal snug fit.

The products fits my telephoto lens well. Service was fast and all the paperwork was correct. I would buy from them again.

An inexpensive lens hood that provides good value. Fits my Canon EFS 55-250 Image Stablized lens just fine. I'm sure a Canon hood that costs much more is better quality but this one seems to do the job. Note that different Canon lens have slightly different bayonet mounts. This one has three "lugs" on the mount so if your lens has only two, it won't fit as reported by users with other Canon telephoto lenses. The hood construction feels like fairly cheap but cosmetically acceptable plastic. Time will tell if it holds up (i.e doesn't crack/break).
