Digital camera reviews of Canon ES-62 Lens Hood for EF 50mm f/1.8 II (w/ hood adapter 62)
Digital camera Review: satisfied
Summary: 3 Stars
The seller's service was good - the item shipped and arrived as expected with no problems.
The lens hood itself is a little hard to align properly when applied to the lens, and for the same reason it also sometimes catches a bit on removal. It's also not very sturdy. But all these things I anticipated from other reviewers' remarks, so I'm not surprised or disappointed. In the end it does its job and the price was right.
Digital camera Review: Nice...
Summary: 5 Stars
I like it. Its one of the best hoods I have used on my lens. I definately recommend it.

Digital camera Review: It Works For Me
Summary: 4 Stars
When I used my 50mm 1.8 outside in bright sunlight I frequently got very overexposed pictures, more than two stops in some cases using aperture priority on my Rebel XSI. I partially remedied that by setting my exposure -2/3. I agree with others this is overpriced for a piece of plastic, but since adding this filter I have no overexposures. It's worth it for me.

Summary: 4 Stars
I am impressed with the lens hood. I am a beginner but found it much easier to take pictures in all periods of the day using the hood. Digital camera Review: Expensive and bad design but does what it's supposed to.
Summary: 4 Stars
Expensive if you consider the price of the lens it is for and the price of this hood. However it does what it's supposed to. The design is not one of the best as it is a 2 piece set, the adaptor ring that screws like a filter (you can still use filters before or after the ring) and the hood itself that attaches to the ring with two opposing clips that you must press (instead of a traditional screw on hood).
This becomes more of a pain because the hood has to be perfectly aligned when you press the clips so the hood can fit right, just as other reviewers mentioned. So you either get used to it or go hoodless (which I don't recommend), as there is really no other choice.
