I 'm as much at fault for purchasing this lens hood as the manufacturer is for selling it. It's a cheap knockoff of the Canon slip notch lens hood. Spend the extra cash on the Canon. Don't bother kidding yourself and spending the money on the Opteka. I even read the reviews and thought, it can't be that bad and the price was great!. You get what you pay for. On the three Canon lenses I have, I can only screw this cover on about 1/8 of the way, and 9/10 it's on cross threaded. I'm afraid of damaging the threads on my lens. It's not worth the cost of shipping to return it so it will collect dust in a corner somewhere until it gets tossed out with the trash. Think quality and longevity, not price!!

This hood does a fabulous job as a protective device and as a shade for lighting issues across the lens.
I got my Canon EOS Rebel XSI as a gift and it came with a great 18-55mm lens. The hood is actually in the way
for vertical and standard distant flash shots. This is no fault of the hood. It should probably be used
on a longer lens.

It's a cheap lens hood. I should have spent more to get one that works better. Using it with the 18-55mm kit lens + UV filter on my Canon XSi, the lens is visible while zoomed out to ~18-22mm. Past 22mm it's not visible, but it's annoying to not have the entire field of view that the lens affords me. The threads are cheap and it screws on pretty roughly, such that I am worried about damaging the threads on my UV filter. The plastic is cheap. The adjustment ring, while it's nice that it's there, is cheap. It does the job, but it's annoying. Do yourself a favor and buy a nicer hood.

This lens hood was not easy to mount on the lens and because it's plastic the screw threads could be damaged.

Although the price is low, the quality is pretty bad. The edge is not smooth even. When screwing onto the lens, it's too tight to adjust to a perfect position, also the black color can fade and make the lens thread very dirty. Pay some more and get the real canon one or just save this 10 bucks.
