The Canon ET-60 Lens Hood is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.

I bought the ET-60 lens hood for the 75->300 mm kit zoom lens bundled with the Canon Rebel XT I purchased about two years ago. Of the several lenses I have purchased for this camera, this is the only one where I get inconsistant results. The main problem I seem to have is that the light meter seems to think there is more light available than exists and results in under-exposed pictures. This happens more often at the 300mm end of zooming. I assumed that too much light is getting in from the side. I tried a rubber screw-in hood and that did not seem to help much. The Canon seems to help a lot, is inexpensive, and is easy to use. I think that a hood should probably be standard with all lenses over 100mm. I should have purchased this when I bought the lens. It is made of thin plastic, so care should be taken to avoid breaking it,

I purchased this hood for my 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS EF-S USM LENS. I expected the inside to be felt lined which it was not. The fit is fine but it is basically a [$] piece of plastic. This quality of hood should be furnished with the lens as part of the package.

          Bought for my 55-250 mm lens. I do a lot of outdoor shooting and use this to reduce lens flare. Bought Canon because of B&H price and quick delivery. Fits perfectly and is heavy construction.

                      The hood keeps the rain off the lense in our rainy Alaska environment. We use the hood daily during the most active photography periods. It also shades the lens in the rare occasion the sun is shining. B and H are excellent to deal with and always send our shipment very quickly.

                                    Comments about Canon ET-60 Lens Hood:

                                    The ET-60 Lens Hood does a great job keeping stray light out of my shots. It is easy to snap on and off of my Canon Zoom Lens. I like that you can reverse it on the lens so the hood and the camera fit nicely into the camera pack.

                                        Its a lens hood, not much to say about it, does what its meant to, attaches smooth and feels quality.

                                            pretty straight forward. fits lens well. not sure how much better it is than the $2 hoods.

                                              The ET-60 Lens Hood by Cannon works well, little cumbersome to put onto and take off of the camer lens.
