Digital camera reviews of Canon ES-62 Lens Hood for EF 50mm f/1.8 II (w/ hood adapter 62)
Digital camera Review: Canon f/1.8 Users Beware
Summary: 2 Stars
I would suggest anyone who is considering purchasing this hood to strongly reconsider. A rubberized collapsible hood is the way to go.
While the 50mm f/1.8 is an exceptionally affordable lens and produces great photos, it has substantial weak points due to its plastic construction that prevent the use of a lens hood. The lens hood is very susceptible to sideways knocks which are exacerbated when the lens hood is attached. I bumped mine and as most people found, the front element dropped off. The interior of the lens is held together by four plastic clips. One or more of the tabs will be broken and while it is possible to re-attach it, the lens will be wobbly or have a much grittier auto-focus noise.
So, buyers beware: The increased leverage on the front element produced by this lens hood will break apart the lens upon a sideways impact especially when the front element is extended.
Digital camera Review: Canon needs to redesign!
Summary: 2 Stars
Hello All,
Lens hoods are pretty much a necessity, but this has to be the mostly poorly made hood I've ever used. Unlike other hoods that screw on, this one requires you to press to opposing clips and then slide the hood one, and release the clips. This leads to problems of alignment, meaning both sides of the clip need to be perfectly aligned in order for the hood to fit right. Although it's a pain and I hate...I don't really have another alternative. Either go w/o a hood, or take this one. Either way, guess I'd rather have a hood on the lense than not having one.
Digital camera Review: Cheaply built hood but a hood in the end
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this hood (make sure you buy the hood that comes with the adapter) for the EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens. This hood is extremely flimsy and cheaply built. You squeeze the 2 buttons on the side to retract the 4 tiny little plastic dowels so that you can place it over the adapter and release the buttons to allow the little dowels to seat in the groove of the adapter.
If you are a bit more serious about controlling stray light and get this hood just remember to take extreme caution each time cuz it feels like those tiny plastic dowels could snap very easily.
If you are just a casual picture taker then don't even bother buying this thing.

It's amazing what such a small thing like this can do for your pictures. I picked this up about a month ago and I have seen an incredible difference in my shots. It is a must have with this lens.
