Canon ET67 Lens Hood for Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: a good hood
Comment: It fits like a glove. It's pretty big though. The inside is a little fuzzy and attracts dust, but at least it's there and not on my lens. I usually keep my 100mm lens on my Canon Rebel, but it won't fit in my bag with the hood on. Instead of reversing it, I found the hood fits nicely in my camera bag if I slip it down over my 50mm lens (with it's hood on) in the side pocket. It works to protect the 50 and rides well there.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Overpriced, but genuine Canon build
Comment: Should have come with the lens, but then, the lens would simply have had a higher price, right?

Customer Rating:
Summary: Working good)
Comment: Working good but ugly looking, no indicator for assembling, really bad surface material (scratch easily)

Customer Rating:
Summary: Useful, but expensive
Comment: In addition to shading the lens from glare and preventing lens flare in your photos, a lens hood can also help protect the front element of your lens without degrading image quality (like a cheap UV filter, for example). When using on board or hot shoe flash, it may end up shading your subject from the flash.

After seeing the lens hood that came with my 24-105L, and comparing it to the one on my Tamron, I decided to go ahead, sacrifice a few lunches out, and get Canon hoods for my two other lenses. Sure, they're overpriced, but the 3rd party ones are overpriced as well even at half this price on eBay, and at least I know this one fits well.

I removed one star for the price. Otherwise it's perfect.

Pros:

Fits very well.
Inside is lined with a velvety material that will not reflect light.
Can be reverse mounted on 100mm macro for storage.

Cons:

Price.
Velvety material traps dust and dirt.
Needs to be removed to replace / remove lens cap (not really an issue with the hood - just need to get into the habit of removing cap before putting hood on).
