Product Description

Product Description
Bayonet, petal form, two-claw removable hood; attachable in reverse.The Canon EW-83J Lens Hood, like all other Lens hoods, 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality hood that you need., December 4, 2006
By Jim Krupnik "jkrupnik" (Watchung, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
It's a shame that Canon does not include this hood with their expensive (non L) lens, but that doesn't lessen the need to own it at all. Canon hoods are plastic. Very nice plastic at that. They are finely engineered, look good, work even better, and protect a lens from fall damage far better than their metal peers.

I complain to Canon about their charging extra for non L hoods every chance I get, but this hood is worth the (cheap) price for what it does, and I would never consider being without one if I planned on taking ANY outdoor images. Buy one when you buy your lens. Use it whenever you shoot outdoors. Get over it's huge size, and be proud of your work at the end of the day.

That's the short and sweet of it. Many people fail to use lens hoods on big lenses because it makes your entire setup look HUGE. Trust me, a 20 or 30D with an EF-S 17-55 IS lens on it will never go unnoticed at a party even without a lens hood. The EW-83J hood adds to the visual impact of your working gear, but also has a very positive effect on your recorded images. Use a hood for what it does for your images, and it won't be long before you lose the shyness of pointing a decidedly non consumer looking camera kit at your photo subjects. This is a well built, fully functional lens hood.

4.0 out of 5 stars Canon EW-83J Lens Hood, December 11, 2007
It is well-made. It is made from Japan. It is quite large and took up space in your bag. It keeps flare away from the photo-taking and we do need it with the wide-angle lens especially at 17mm.

1.0 out of 5 stars Get the cheaper knockoff version, November 1, 2008
By A. Rathbun (Chicagoland, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There's nothing wrong with this, aside from canon absolutely ripping you off for a piece of cheap plastic.

Opteka makes a knockoff version.. same shape and it works great, and it's 1/4 the cost.

Until Canon quits charging ridiculous prices for their hoods, buy yourself a cheaper one anytime you can. There's no real difference in the products.
