At first, I did not see much , if any reason to purchase this shade. But, when I put it on the lens, it gave it a little more substance, and protection form hitting the front of the lens when your camera falls forward on the table. Yes, you could just put a filter in front, but I like the shade for a little more form and style.

This lens hood is good enough for protection, and marginal for stray light. I use it with a filter making it a little more useful for blocking light from angles near perpendicular to the lens.
I bought it mostly for protection from bumps. I think it's useful in that way.
Again, this design of lens hood is very shallow, unlike most Canon Hoods.
Think this is a necessity for protection, my camera can swing pretty good when bending down. I really like the lens, so I'm protecting.

I suppose this hood could be thought of as a form of protection but as a lens hood I believe it is useless.

Comments about Canon ES-52 Lens Hood:
This is really nothing more than a 52mm metal filter ring without any glass. It screws into the 40mm lens' front filter threads. I recommend you save the money this empty filter ring costs and use your hand, a hat, or some other object to block point light sources and prevent flare.

Comments about Canon ES-52 Lens Hood:
It's very, very thin, so I wondered how much protection it was going to give to my pancake lens. I screwed the UV filter on the lens and then the lens hood on the filter. It creates some more distance for protection. It is a cheaper lens, so some may wonder why you would even use a hood on it. I do it to prevent oily finger smudges more than anything. Canon really needs to include hoods with their lenses. It's pretty ridiculous that Nikon and Fuji (and probably others) do, but Canon doesn't. Boo Canon.

Provides protection to the objective preventing damage in any impacts, as well as help in shooting near the windows, where one must bring to avoid glare. Matrial quality. Well, Canon, then!

Comments about Canon ES-52 Lens Hood:
I found the design to be very interesting. It appears to be very different from most hoods in that it looks as though the actual lens shielding feature is not the portion thhat protrudes, but the portion that screws into the lens. close to the front element.
