Canon EW-60C Lens Hood for EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6, II, III, IV, V, 18-55mm & 28-90mm Lenses
Lens hoods are 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.
Dedicated lens hoods are designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.

Nice lens hood. Fits my Canon 18-55mm lens perfectly! Quality plastic, and the inside of the hood is a nice flat black. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it's not very deep. It helps, but I think it could provide more protection if it was a tad deeper. It's only about an inch deep. Good product tho. I would recommend this hood for that lens.

I spent extra to get the Canon branded lens hood however this lens hood is very difficult to fit onto my 18 - 55mm IS lens. I can't imagine the much cheaper generic brand lens hoods would be any worse. Save your money, Canon made no effort in making this lens hood fit the lenses propertly. Previously had Nikon products, their lens hoods fit their lenses like a glove.. I regret switching to Canon.
If you have 15 minutes to fumble around with this the lens hood everytime you need to put it on your lens or take it off, then go ahead and buy this.. however the generic cheaper brands will work just as well if not better!!

Comments about Canon EW-60C Lens Hood:
The CanonEW-60C lens hood did not work.
When I took an outdoor picture there was still a spot on the picture like a full moon from the sun.
The main reason I purchased the lens hood was to avoid that spot.
My other lens hhod I purchased for the longer lens worked beautifully.

Comments about Canon EW-60C Lens Hood:
I bought this lens hood to protect the lens from rain drops; but after I received it I found it too short in length for that purpose. It did, however, keep my fingers from touching the lens; which is always good when you don't have lens cleaners on hand. It fits the Canon lens well and stays in place.
