Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering by extending and shading the end of the lens, ensuring no problems with vignetting or motor functions. Additionally, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Lens hoods match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.
This lens hood fits the following Canon lenses:
- EF 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 DO IS USM
- EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM

The interior of this hood has a light textured, almost velvet-y lining. It is NOT a matte finish plastic on the inside of the hood. This fabric-like lining helps prevent sunlight reflecting and distorting the image. Therefore, the lining is the justification for a higher price point than the majority of camera lens hoods.

Preso perché sono un possessore di prodotti Canon. Ottimo prodotto e fa il suo lavoro. Consigliato anche se il prezzo è un pò alto.

It’s a hood. And it does it well. Price is good compared to most. I originally order one if the 12 dollar hoods but it was too big for my lens that it is sized for. This lens fits perfectly and reverses for storage. I can even operated the rings on the lens with the hood on reversed.

I purchased this for my new Canon EF 70-300 IS USM f4-5.6 lens. I have a hood for every lens I own -- not only does it block stray lighting but it's useful protection for when someone bumps the front of your lens in a crowd. The Canon hoods have a light absorbing felt inside liner, whereas the off-brand ones usually have just flat-black paint. The felt makes a difference. The bayonet mount on this hood fits the lens well and goes on despite the presence of a Hoya UV filter (something else one should have on every lens). Some of the off-brand ones don't fit as well.You do get what you pay for and the price here at Amazon was a good 25% less than what Canon wanted at their on-line store. I'm pleased.

I suppose with any costly item you own you have to protect your investment, and that goes for protection of your glass that you attach to your camera.I've said this numerous times in my reviews of Cannon accessory products, that their are some things that I will not leave aftermarket products responsible for protecting my investment, and this is one of them.The Cannon ET-65B as do most all Cannon Lens Hoods, come with a thin cloth fabric-like coating inside to further protect from flaring that could cause picture distortion, and I really like that. In addition these hoods are specifically manufactured for the lens that they will be mounted on, so I know that there will be no issues in fit or finish. And it just gives me that peace of mind that in my opinion justifies the cost.If you can afford the lens, you can afford to purchase the proper hood.Norman Camera & Video was very fast and efficient in their delivery, and I am very satisfied with my purchase for my EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens.

I read 100+ reviews on lens hoods for the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6IS USM. Decided to cough up the additional cash for the Canon manufactured hood because the reviews on non-Canon hoods were all over the board. Plus, I guess you get what you pay for. Obviously the Canon ET-65B lens hood fits perfectly and demonstrates excellent design and build quality. But as another reviewer noted, Canon should add this overpriced piece of plastic to the lens itself or to any Canon kit that includes the lens. With the lens retailing at $500 and up, a hood that likely cost less than $1.00 to manufacture should come with the lens. Canon, you need to look at the money you spend on advertising and marketing and compare to the thousands of dollars worth of word-of-mouth goodwill you would create by including the hood with the lens. Five stars for quality but knocked off two stars for price.

I blush to admit it, but...I ordered a "cheap-o" hood first. What a mistake! It was a real pain to put on and take off. No matter how careful I was I felt like my lens gears were going to strip with every on/off operation. This OFFICIAL Canon version is perfect! Easy on and easy off. Plus it just feels better. Quality is quality every time. This is the hood to get! FYI: The "cheap-o" hood return was quick and simple. Amazon rocks!

I like the lens hood just fine. It's a decent size and IMO protects the front element of the 70-300 f4-5.6 just fine. It's just since the lens telescopes out when focusing and zooming, the hood adds to the already long lens.The cool thing about this lens is that the inside is lined with this suede-like material. I guess it's to help disperse the flare better, which is nice, but it can also get kind of linty.I agree w/ the other review who said that it sucks that Canon doesn't include these necessary accessories, but it is what it is. Fork over your cash!

Overpriced? Sure.Useful? Of course, and in several ways. On a recent vacanza a Italia, the hood proved its worth not only as an excellent flare mitigator, but protected the front elements from damage (and I generally consider my gear babied) made possible by careless other tourists. Of course, the hood was a necessity during lengthy evening/night exposures, as well, in heavily traveled areas (Spanish Steps) because of the large doses of light provided streetlamps.A slotted hood might ultimately provide better flare oblation across the entire zoom range, but this hood does its job.For those who wonder, the hood works with both the DO and non-DO 70-300mm lenses.For the record, I won't drop the star rating because of an excessive price. Protect your kit - and your exposure plane: use a hood.
