Digital camera reviews of Canon EW78BII Lens Hood for EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Canon SLR Lens
Digital camera Review: Canon Lens hood EW78BII A Must
Summary: 4 Stars
As I stated in my review of the 28-135mm IS USM lens, this Lens Hood is a must. Surprising, the quality of the hood surpasses its relatively inexpensive price.
The interior felt tended to pick/up some unwanted debris, but I found a good Oral B tooth brush (no floss needed) to fix the problems. Hey, we live in a filthy world!
The only real negative I will mention: not one Camera store in NYC stocks the Lens Hood. There I was with a piece of cardboard in my hand trying to block out the sun - looked real Photo 101. I recommend getting the Lens Hood if you plan on purchasing the 28-135mm while on vacation, etc.

This lens hood does it jobs as advertise. Many good points: Block light, Sturdy construction, felt liner for anti-reflect, look good, ...
One very bad point: If the Circular Polarized Filter is to use, then there is a serious problem to rotate the filter if this lens hood is attached.
Canon make this hood. Canon make the Circular Polarized Filter for this particular lens too. Canon did not think the combination of these two together in their design.

Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Canon EW78BII Lens Hood for EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Canon SLR Lens "USED" from Amazon, but it was absolutely flawless, with the original box, and it cost almost 4 dollars less a new one. I have not tried the third party lens hoods, basically because I was just buying the CANON name. But I am sure they do the exact same thing, which is being a lens hood. But from what I read, online and here on Amazon, is that the some 3rd party lens hoods probably cannot be reversed mounted for storage, and that at least this the Canon Lens Hood, is lined with felt, to minimize the light reflection on the inside of the lens hood, where some 3rd party ones were reviewed as not having this feature.
Aside from the High price, it is an awesome lens, and a little bigger than I thought it would be. I highly recommend this product, and from now on I am giving Amazon "USED" products a second look. This "USED" hood was in excellent condition.

Does just what it is supposed to do. Just make certain that you do not get anything on the inside of the hood, because it wants to stick to the felt-like anti-reflective material on the inside.Digital camera Review: Canon lens hood

Very nice and fits well. Feels as if this hood will take a bump or two. I had felt an 'off-brand' hood before I opted for the Canon Brand one- 'off-brand' was less expensive and felt that way.
