Summary: Lens saver!
Comment: Twice in my career as a weekly newspaper reporter I have dropped my camera. One of those times was last week. Of course I dumped my new Canon 40D out of my bag -- onto asphalt.
The camera landed on the corner of the battery grip (Canon BG-E2N) messing up the shutter button and wheel on the corner of the grip and the other end landed on the lens hood, instead of the lens.
The camera works perfectly and I am convinced I would have at least lost a filter on the lens if not for the rigid lens hood. It does make the camera a little long, but I think the length really helped when I dropped my camera.

Summary: Maybe it works, but stores funny -- also, overpriced!
Comment: I've honestly yet to use this in a scenario where it may be needed, but I can say that the "storage" option where you flip it and store it on the lens sucks -- can barely work the zoom with it on like that!
Given the high price (as far as chunks of extruded plastic go), it seems it may be better to just use your hand or had for the same effect -- after all, they both store quite conveniently!
On the good side, this did not catch on fire or kill my baby. So... I guess it's got THAT going for it. Also, it did not explode when I touched it.

Summary: It works!!!
Comment: What can you say about a lens hood. Should have been included with the lens; a hood is a must if you venture outside for pictures!!!
This one is good quality AND it was designed for cameras with an APS-C sensor.

Summary: Fit is Perfect
Comment: This hood fit perfect and has made a noticable difference in outdoor photographs using my Canon 40D. It should not be used with flash photography on this lens as it creates a shadow area in the lower picture.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It should come with the lens.. besides, it leaves a shadow on the corners
Comment: I does what it is supposed to do, but:
1) Leaves a shadow on the corners at 17mm.. It's a shame that Canon makes this with this problem.. Is that a design problem?? I think so..
2) You buy a lens that costs about US$ 600.00 and then you have to spend more US$ 30 on the hood.. what a shame. It should come with the lens.
In spite of working well, because of the two issues above, not more than 2 stars for it.
