Lens Hood for Canon EW-73B

Pros: Cheap but doesnt look cheap, feels well made and fits tight on the 17-85 IS USM.

Cons: Well..if there is one thing it must be the tiny little drop of spilled silver paint on the edge (where it doesnt belong).

Other: If you got a 17-85 IS USM and are looking to buy the lenshood from Canon be sure to try this one first.

Pros: If you own a Canon EF-S 17-85 lens then this is the hood that fits it. Pictures will not be washed out due to stray light, be that sunlight or lights in a room. Pictures will have greater contrast. Lens hood is reversible so it will fit into your camera bag with no problem.

Cons: When in place it does feel a bit loose. The inside surface of the hood could be a better matte. In other words not as shiny.

Other: For the price you can't beat it.

Pros: A great copy of the original piece.
Fits perfectly on my 18-55.
Build quality is good enough for a piece of plastic.

Cons: The matte area on the inside is not as good as the original, but does it really make a difference?
Doesn't fit as snugly as an original, but does not affect usage.

Other: 1/3 the price of an original and does the job. Can't beat it. DX FTW.

Pros: -Very good, fits snugly
-Can be mounted reverse on the lens
- The inside is matte
- It feels sturdy enough
- You can't tell it's off brand
- Finishing is very good

Cons: -It says "For Canon" not "Canon" but it figures
-It doesn't have the little red dot for aligning

Other: There's no reason to pay big bucks for a piece of plastic.
Buy this one.

Decent quality.
If you have a Canon 18-135 lens, make sure you buy for him this blend.

Pros: It's priced at a fraction of the real thing from Canon, and still does the same job.
Made of hard plastic and seems to be durable but will obviously crack if enough pressure applied.
Matte black finish looks great.

Cons: There really isn't anything bad about it. But i did notice some rough edges around the area that attaches to the lens. If not careful, you may possible scratch your lens.

Other: Works great, at a fraction of the cost of the real thing.

Pros: Looks like the original, and has the same size - hence it blocks unwanted sunlight from entering the lens. Easy mount on my 17-85 IS also with UV-filter and lens hood.

Cons: I don't know if the original is meant to, but this one cannot be reverse mounted, so if you suddenly want to remove it, you'll have to put it somewhere else.
No velvet on the inside - some light may be reflected on the smooth surface, compared to the original

Other: Extremely cheap, fits on my lens, does the job and looks good

Fits the Canon 18-135 lens (although slightly tight).

Well built considering the price.

Cons: Has a slightly tight fit on my canon 18-135 lens but not hampering in any way (minor con).
Slightly tricky operating a circular polorising filter with the hood attached but still possible. I'm not sure if the original hood is any better in this regard. (so also a minor con).
Dosnt look like it can fit on backwards for storage.
