Digital camera reviews of Canon EW-73B Lens Hood For 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS EF-S and 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lenses
Digital camera Review: Should have been included with lens.
Summary: 4 Stars
This lens hood is (of course) just right for the lens, but it's a shame that Canon squeezes a little extra revenue by selling accessories that ought to be included with expensive products.Digital camera Review: Simple to use
Summary: 5 Stars
This does what it is supposed to do. Make sure it can fit in your camera bag while it is still attached to the lens if that's what you intend to do. It is not small and extra space in your bag is necessary.Digital camera Review: THIS LENS HOOD SAVED MY NEW 17-85mm from damage
Summary: 5 Stars
The first day of ownership of my XTI REBEL camera and the 17-85mm lens, my Springer Spaniel Puppy playfully jumped on me knocking my camera with new lens and hood out of my hands and onto the sidewalk. Fortunately the camera landed on the hood and rolled over not causing any damage to the camera or lens. Just scratched the hood. In my mind the lens hood saved my camera and lens from damage. As for it's intended use, I use it all the time in bright sunlight and have had excellent results. Hope this helps.Digital camera Review: Terrible packaging
Summary: 1 Stars
Nothing wrong with the lens hood (except the price) but Amazon's packing standards are TERRIBLE!!!
Little hood in a big box with a couple of inflated bags and plenty of room to shift aboput and take knocks.

Digital camera Review: Too expensive!
Summary: 3 Stars
Canon's pricing on this lens shade reminds me of inkjet printers: they practically give you the printer, then skin you alive with ink costs. Don't get me wrong, the "tulip" shade works fine (although it throws a shadow on imges when you use the pop-up flash), but it should cost a fraction of what they charge. I'd guess they cost less than two bucks to make, if that. It's nothing but formed plastic. I don't like giving Canon a bad review because, otherwise, they make world-class products. So I'd give this lens shade five stars for use, but one star for pricing, an overall 3.
