This lens hood will drive you crazy. A constant aggravation as no neat place to put it in my Canon Back Pack, my Lowepro rolling suitcase or my huge one secure for the amazon rain forest. It is always in the way. Unless you use it. You need to. I know. Someone mentioned filters and I had a hard time after my camera store closed. No fine camera store. Ritz Camera’s has a really good description of the effects of many filters and it has been a plus for me. A $12.95 filter seemed expensive with my Canon 10 D. When I dropped the camera and the filter broke instead of the lens it seemed very reasonable. I would never not have a filter on my current L series lens collection. They cost too much.

This is way overpriced for what it is and Canon is too cheap to include it with the lens– shame on them. It is just crazy to have to be “taxed” an additional $30+ on a $700 lens that should come with a lens hood. It works fine, it is just the price that is the issue. I’m kind of sorry I didn’t take the risk of buying a third party brand lens hood. The Canon hood is just made of plastic as is the third party brand (BTW I thought the third party brand was also overpriced at $15+). To me, this hood is worth maybe $10 but certainly no more than $12. Part of the reason I bought the Canon is that Amazon provided free shipping since it was over $25. The $15+ hood got bumped up to over $20 with the shipping. I would have tried the third party brand but there is no telling the quality of those plus the cost difference was to close with the shipping so I just decided to bite the bullet and pay up. It is wise to have the hood especially for bright days but the price is definitely a rip.

A lens hood is essential. All of my Canon high-end lenses came with the hood packed in the box. The 10mm-22mm lens is a very fine quality lens and feels like one of the pro “L” lenses in construction and in image quality. It is also expensive enough to qualify, so why not include the lens hood?

Since it was not included however it is a necessary purchase.

Comes as standard with the lens.

So unless you lost yours you probably don’t need it.

It is however highly effective in keeping those coloured doughnut shaped artifacts out of the image if the sun is potentially just out of shot.

The lens it fits is one of my all-time favourites performance-wise.

Great product, fits my 10-22 quite well (a hair of jiggle room) and does what it’s supposed to do.
