As advertised. It threads on with slight plastic threads which are destined to strip. For the price, I can live with that. The design does not allow you to flip it around to put in carrying case. I would not buy another one.

This product does not go on and off like some easier to use and higher end lens hoods. It must be screwed into the threaded receptacle on your lens or lens filter...and unscrewed and stored separately every time you want to remove it. Better versions snap on and off...

Also, this is made from some type of medium density thermo-formed plastic - NOT rubber. It has little or no give to it. I was disappointed with this product when it arrived.

Bought this lens hood for the standard 18-55mm lens which came with my Canon T1i SLR. The lens hood is mounted on the focus ring and therefore when auto-focus is used the hood rotates with the lens. The problem is that at the wide angel focal length the hood actually gets in the picture. This is probably not an issue with a lens above 28mm.
