Digital camera reviews of Canon EW78BII Lens Hood for EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Canon SLR Lens
Digital camera Review: EW78BII lens hood
Summary: 5 Stars
This lens hood is a good compliment with my EF 28-135mm lens. Great addition to my Canon product collection.Digital camera Review: Essential item
Summary: 5 Stars
Good fit, works as advertised, stores on lens. Helps keep night dew off the lens as well as unwanted light out during the day.Digital camera Review: Excellent for Outdoor Usage
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the this lens hood with the matching lens just as a "best practice". I do believe it is worth the money and that a hood is appropriate in almost any condition.
GOOD
- eliminates all but the most powerful lens flare (i.e. pointing the camera at the sun)
- protects the lens somewhat
- durable and locks onto lens snugly
BAD
- makes lens even more bulky. I am struggling to find a bag which will accomodate my Digital Rebel XTI and a 28-135mm lens attached and equipped with this hood.
- the felt on the inside picks up fuzz. I don't know how Canon would fix this problem, but even being very careful you may notice flecks of lint and dust caught in the felt which lines the inside of the hood.
- the plastic on the outside quickly smudges with fingerprints.
This is just an FYI, not a bad point. If you use the built-in flash from a matching DSLR with this hood, you may very well get a nasty shadow. Using a higher quality flash which sits higher up on the camera eliminates this issue completely (in my experience).
Digital camera Review: Excellent!

Bought it for my 7D, Originally got it from Canon till i seen it was way cheaper on Amazon, yep sent it back to Canon!Digital camera Review: Expensive...
Summary: 3 Stars
I can't believe I paid this much money for a piece of plastic. I guess if it works though then its alright. I don't know how much they usually are but it just seems expensive for what you get. Its a tulip style lenses hood and it is made for canon lenses. It makes the camera look professional, but I bought it because it protects the lens and reduce chance of lens flare. So far so good. Fits like a sock!
