This was a good price for lense hood. However, I wish the store would have carried more selections. This was the only one they stocked.

This Lens Hood did not Fit my Camera

After taking home this product, I was disappointed to realize that the lens hood did not properly fit my Canon T3i Rebel camera. With the lens zoomed out all the way, the corners of my photos showed the black hood. I found out my camera needs a different style hood. This hood MAY work for other cameras without a problem. I returned the product to Best Buy. They did not have any alternatives, so I will have to buy one elsewhere.

I didn't want to spend much on a hood yet as I am still getting familiar with the camera, but needed one for sunny days. This one does the job.

I asked one of the employees for a lens hood for my canon lens. He showed me this one. When I got home to fit on my 300 lens it fit but not super snug. It gets the job done though. If canon made one then I would probably get the canon hood.

For what you pay for it, it does the job needed. Helps with quality of pictures. Day time sun or night time will help with lights on .

I used it for my Canon t5 and it works well I would have liked it to work in reverse better so I do not have to deal with it afterwards.

Always wanted to try a hard lens hood. I really like it. It also fits Pentax 58mm
