Digital camera reviews of Canon ET-65B Lens Hood for EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 IS and DO IS USM Lenses
Digital camera Review: A lot of money for a piece of plastic - but at least it fits.
Summary: 3 Stars
I read 100+ reviews on lens hoods for the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6IS USM. Decided to cough up the additional cash for the Canon manufactured hood because the reviews on non-Canon hoods were all over the board. Plus, I guess you get what you pay for. Obviously the Canon ET-65B lens hood fits perfectly and demonstrates excellent design Canon ET-65B Lens Hood for EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 IS and DO IS USM Lenses and build quality. But as another reviewer noted, Canon should add this overpriced piece of plastic to the lens itself or to any Canon kit that includes the lens. With the lens retailing at $500 and up, a hood that likely cost less than $1.00 to manufacture should come with the lens. Canon, you need to look at the money you spend on advertising and marketing and compare to the thousands of dollars worth of word-of-mouth goodwill you would create by including the hood with the lens. Five stars for quality but knocked off two stars for price.Digital camera Review: Are you Kidding me?

I bought this hood when it was at its lowest for around thirty dollars. Then I saw it rise to forty. Now It's listed here for a hundred bucks. are you serious? Has the world gone nuts? its a lens hood made of plastic. I will say it works fine as a lens hood, but then again it isn't that complicated. I say just get one of the replica ones unless you can find this for a much lower price somewhere.Digital camera Review: Cannon Hood for EF 70-300 mm lens

Hood is well manufactured and works excellent for its application. However, I am disappointed that it costs so much, while similar hoods for other lenses are reasonably priced.Digital camera Review: Canon ET-65B Lens Hood

This is a must have item if you are shooting on a sunny day. You can control flare, plus it protects your lens. Canon should include it with the lens.
