Digital camera reviews of Canon ES-62 Lens Hood for EF 50mm f/1.8 II (w/ hood adapter 62)
Digital camera Review: The Right Snap-on Lens Hood
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for use with my EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens. Since that lens is so cheap (in cost, it produces very sharp images and is capable of some very neat bokeh effects), I didn't want to splurge for a high-quality multi-coated lens filter; this fit the bill. The metal ring that you screw onto the end of the lens, which permits you to snap the lens hood on and off, adds some rigidity to the lens. As far as I know, this is the only lens hood for this lens that can be reversed and snapped back onto the body. I love this feature about full-sized 77mm lens hoods and it's definitely something that I did not want to miss out on with this 50mm lens. I have no regrets; it works as advertised.Digital camera Review: The hood costs 1/3 the price of the glass?

Wow... Now if you really want to see a rip-off, here it is. Not to be damaging to Amazon.com but hey for the 50mm just get some carboard and tape it to the front to shield it from the sun. The hood is definitely not worth it.Digital camera Review: Wonderful package at $25 hood + $75 lens = $100 Lens Deal
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed a lens hood for my 50mm lens and paying $25 for a hood on a $75 lens might seem ridiculous. However, that might be because the $75 lens is so inexpensive. If the lens was $250 then paying an extra 10% might not seem too bad. I just saw the total cost of the lens and hood for $100 and that's good for a terrific prime lens and its hood.
However, please note: the lens hood is rather shallow (1 star reduction) and it is a screw-on two piece kit (1 star reduction). One piece is the adaptor that screws-on where the filters normally go (UV Filter) in front of the lens and is intended to be a permanent integral part of the lens and the second piece is the hood that snaps on and off this adaptor. The adaptor ring retains the same 52mm rim size so your protective filter can go before or after the adaptor.
(1 Bonus Star) Because $100 is still a bargain for a 50mm, f1.8, super fast, super sharp, super clear, light weight beginner lens and hood kit!
I hope this helps rather than confuse. :)
Digital camera Review: Works great and gives a nice protection from sunlight
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this hood for my new EF50mm and it is all I could ask for. It gives a nice look to the lens and camera and protects the lens from direct sunlight.
If you get the EF50mm this Lens Hood is a must have!!

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.
