After 5 years my lens hood popped off my 24-70 f/2.8L Canon lens while leaning over the stone wall of a reservoir when the hood hit the stone and popped off - this was while I was trying to get an unusual shot of beautiful hand-hewn stone on the spill-way. Watched with sadness as it dropped hundreds of feet onto the roof of a maintenance shed that was unreachable by any means. I thought I would end up with a knock-off but when I received my new lens hood ([...]) I was happy to see it was identical to the lens hood I lost including the felt on the inside. Very happy and relieved as this is my favorite lens and the lens hood has saved the lens from many knocks and bangs.

I wish I had a different lens hood for this lens that was smaller, less bulky and didn't constantly get knocked off when stored in the bag. I seem to remember having a smaller length one that had equal coverage some time back. I still recommend it though, because for me a lens hood is mandatory.

Comments about Canon EW-83F Lens Hood for 24-70 f/2.8L Lens:
Considered third party manufacturers, however considering we use this item for pro use decided we had better stick with the original Canon brand.
The original that came with the Canon 24-70mm L Series after a few years of professional use finally got a small crack where it attaches to the lens. If it was not attached it may well have been a cracked lens. Well worth it!

Comments about Canon EW-83F Lens Hood for 24-70 f/2.8L Lens:
This works perfectly as it should. :) Just wish it fit in my backpack with my lenses a little bit better but that is just the way lens hoods are in general.

Comments about Canon EW-83F Lens Hood for 24-70 f/2.8L Lens:
This hood is great for blocking the sunlight. The only thing bad about it is that when you flip it to put back on the lens it is difficult to use the lens with it on.

It's got a sturdy, secure build and does exactly what a lens hood should do. If you're going to invest in such a high-quality lens, don't skimp on this type of accessory.

Comments about Canon EW-83F Lens Hood for 24-70 f/2.8L Lens:
Love the hood, use it when in direct light to shield the lens. Just be aware, one comes with the lens already, you don't need to buy an extra.

Comments about Canon EW-83F Lens Hood for 24-70 f/2.8L Lens:
It was not clear when i purchased the lens that this actually came with it. So, i had to incur the cost of returning this item when i found out that it came with the lens i purchased at the same time.

Comments about Canon EW-83F Lens Hood for 24-70 f/2.8L Lens:
The Canon 24-70 lens literally lives on my camera, but it needs a hood and this one from its maker is, of course perfect. It effectively stops sun spots when shooting outside, which is what I do most of the time. It's also a must have for indoor situations as well. It's easy to take off and on. It's Canon. It's a quality product, well-made, durable and a must have if you own this lens.

Comments about Canon EW-83F Lens Hood for 24-70 f/2.8L Lens:
The original got loose over time. That's why it fell off at a wedding and got lost. It controls flare very well. I just hope that this one doesn't fall off too because it is relatively expensive.

Comments about Canon EW-83F Lens Hood for 24-70 f/2.8L Lens:
I looked at competitors' hoods but finally went with Canon. My Daddy always said, "If you try to get by with a cheap substitute, you will be reminded each and every time you use it." Likewise, I have learned that good quality equipment also reminds you each and every time--reminds you of your good judgement.

This lens hood is awesome for blocking sun rays, but also helps protects the glass. I have dropped many lenses and the lens hood has saved them time and again.

Comments about Canon EW-83F Lens Hood for 24-70 f/2.8L Lens:
I use this product on my f2.8, 24-70L series lens. It is the correct lens hood for this lens. I had this hood, but I left it somewhere and after moving to a new town decided to buy another one. I was concerned that I would be buying a knock off of the original. But I got the Real Thing! Even the felt lining was on the inside of the hood.
Works great, I'd buy it again.
