Digital camera reviews of Canon EW65II Lens Hood for Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 & EF 35mm f/2 SLR Lenses
Digital camera Review: Important
Summary: 5 Stars
I use lens hoods on all my lenses absolutely every time the lenses are used. They block glares, fingers, debris, and whatever else comes at your lens from damaging anything delicate. On New Years Day a few days ago, I was shooting with the EF35mm f/2 lens with this hood attached, when I slipped and fell down a muddy hill. Really graceful and catlike, I know. Anyway, the point is that this hood blocked the lens from getting muddy or damaged. I had to clean the hood quite extensively, which was fine, since at least I wasn't cleaning mud off the lens. Doubly so, since I wasn't using a "protection" filter at the time, since "protection" filters tend to add glares, whereas hoods lessen them.Digital camera Review: Pride of ownership
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent craftmanship, with proud "MADE IN JAPAN" imprinted on it. The inside of the hood where the light gets absorbed instead of reflecting is specially treated, which almost feels like cloth.
I compared this genuine hood with the one (for Canon 50mm lens) I ordered from Hong Kong on eBay, which I paid only less than $8.00. I may have saved $20, but think about carring this lens for years with a fake hood attached to it. Worth $20? I think not. Spend extra $20 and have a pride of ownership and feel RIGHT.
Digital camera Review: So-so hood, but this lens really needs it..
Summary: 4 Stars
Canon EF 35mm F/2 lens glares easily from the stray sun rays, so a hood is necessary.
PROS:
* Easy to attach and detach (Snaps on, no need to align the dots).
CONS:
* Unlike screw-on hoods, the attachement to the lens is wobbly and doesn't feel solid.
* Not large enough to protect from all the glares. Occasionally, I have to use my hand or a baseball cap as an improvised hood extesion.
Digital camera Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this because every once in awhile I would get sun spots,not very often, but they always killed my photo. I have not taken this hood off since I put it on and no bad photo's.Digital camera Review: You need some expensive, professsional-looking plastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey, it makes sense to me. You need some expensive plastic to protect your great cheap plastic lens. You wanted to explore the primes without taking out a second mortgage, right? Besides, every goober who sees your lens hood will be convinced that you are a pro.
