Digital camera Review: Not the best fit, but it works
Summary: 3 Stars
The adapter screws on to the filter threads, and then the oversized hood snaps (via two plastic squeeze tabs) on to that. Since the lens doesn't zoom there isn't much chance of vinetteing, but it looks a bit akward and because it's so wide I'm not sure how much glare it keeps out.
However, if you (like me) bought this lens for low-light work because of the f-stop, you're also buying this hood for the same reason I did: lens protection (vs lens flare.) Since it's the only one Canon offers currently, it's really your only bet.
Digital camera Review: POS, broke quickly, difficult to install
Summary: 1 Stars
I have one positive thing to say about this hood: It makes the camera look pretty cool and professional. Other than that, this thing is a piece of s**t that broke a month or two after I got it. The clip-on mechanism is poorly designed and hard to use even when it's not broken. Why don't they just make it screw-in? I'm not sure if this is the only option for this lens, I haven't looked yet. You have to use a hood so I might be forced to buy another one, but I would stay away from it if at all possible.
Update 4/24/07: I bought a rubber fold-up hood on eBay, and it's infinitely better than the Canon. It screws solidly into the hood adapter, and folds up out of the way when not in use. I highly recommend getting that instead of this garbage.
Digital camera Review: Perfectly matched!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This one is perfectly matched to Canon ES-62 EF 50mm f/1.8II Very easy to use and also making the photo beautiful!!Digital camera Review: Rip Off
Summary: 1 Stars
It's unfortunate that one of the best lens bargains out there is followed up by one of the worst photo ripoffs -- this hood. How can you pay $75 for a great prime lens, and $25 for a flimsy piece of plastic to cover it?
