Digital camera reviews of Canon EW73B Lens Hood for the EF-S 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM SLR Lens
Digital camera Review: It Worths!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, It is just a piece of plastic, right? Not exactly! I bought the third party one from Precision Design which has nothing to do with precision. In fact, it does not fit well on the lens and never locks, I mean, it should lock on the lens when you turn it to the side. Canon charges a lot for its original hood and I definitely think that it should be supplied with the lens! Acting like this, Canon is just playing too much tight. However, I confess that the Canon original lens hood for the 17-85mm lens is of far highest quality than the one from Precision design that I bought. I regret to have bought this third party hood. The Canon one fits perfectly on the lens and has a nice velvet coat inside that I think is intended to protect the lens against scratches. My advice? Well, Pay more and get the one from Canon. It worths!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: Almost perfect,
Summary: 4 Stars
...if it wasn't for the vignetting. Just be careful when using it.
Vignetting can be reduced through some fast post processing, although many photographers would rarher not do that.
The hood fits perfectly on the lens.
Using a hood makes you more noticeable...also an unwanted secondary effect to many photographers.
All in all, its a must buy: some vignette can be tolerated; but the flare can totally damage your pics.
Digital camera Review: A cure for circling the end of the lens with your hand!
Summary: 4 Stars
Sometimes I like a bit of artistic sun flare but I was finding many times where I was trying to hold the camera and take a picture while shading the lens with one hand. Not a real comfortable position. The lens hood makes the lens bulkier and takes a second to put on but it is worth it in my opinion.Digital camera Review: Useful shade
Summary: 5 Stars
This shade, made by Canon is much better, a better fit and more sturdy than a generic shade sold by a famous NYC store. It is well worth the price, and does not interfere with the use of filters.
