Pearstone LHC-ES71II Dedicated Lens Hood (ES-71II)
- No Longer Available
The dedicated Pearstone LHC-ES71II Lens Hood is specifically designed for use with Canon's EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens.
Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens, by extending and shading the end of the lens. A dedicated lens hood is designed to perfectly match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.

I use this hood with my 50mm f1.4 lens; nice attachment for the money. The hood is a little rough screwing on at first, but after the first 10 uses I found the hood loosened up just enough to make it fit perfectly. My hood has a little gap on the left and right side near the screw-on point. It doesn't effect any of the results, but I could see light leaking through the backside of the hood in specific conditions. The plastic quality of the hood is pretty good - strong enough to protect the lens when put on reversed in my bag.

Does not fit properly like all the other hoods from this brand. Some are better than others, but I am returning them all. Here I was just trying to get back-ups in case I lose another one and can't get a replacement before the next job...big mistake going generic.

I use it with my Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM Autofocus Lens. I've had a a few months and it seems durable. It's not too large either, so it doesn't get in the way.

Comments about Pearstone LHC-ES71II Dedicated Lens Hood (ES-71II):
just as other reviews noted, it doesn't screw on as easy as canon hoods. the inside does not have the felt type coating that canon has either. It is more of a matte finish. No reason to spend the money on canon for the purpose. it works.

Comments about Pearstone LHC-ES71II Dedicated Lens Hood (ES-71II):
The fit and finish of this hood is good for the price. It does a pretty good job at protecting the front element of the lens. Other than that, there isn't much to say...its a lens hood, and it works.

Comments about Pearstone LHC-ES71II Dedicated Lens Hood (ES-71II):
I have been pleased with each Pearstone lens hood I've purchased and this is no exception. There is no reason to spend $30 or $40 on the Canon item when this performs just as well and looks fine.

Comments about Pearstone LHC-ES71II Dedicated Lens Hood (ES-71II):
This product is a great protection against glare and accidential damage to your lense. Its light weight and strong. The only down fall I find is at times its hard to find the groves to properly place it on. But once on it does what it was meant for.

Does exactly what it should for a fraction of the cost you would pay for the same product with "Canon" stamped on it. Excellent fit and function. Reverses in a split second for storage. I will stay with Pearstone for future lens hood purchases.

Nice little addition to an already wonderful lens. Helps immensely when filming outside...that's really all I can say. Make sure you have room in your gear bag. Also it goes on and off pretty easy so make sure to flip the hood when storing.
