Product Description
One of the most important accessories for each lens you own. A lens hood provides multiple functions: it shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality; in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens; and it protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles. Almost all EF and TS-E lenses have a Canon lens hood engineered specifically for it.
Amazon.com Product Description
Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering by extending and shading the end of the lens, ensuring no problems with vignetting or motor functions. Additionally, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Lens hoods match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for. This lens hood fits the following Canon lenses:
- EF 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 DO IS USM
- EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM

 Useful January 4, 2007

Overpriced? Sure.
Useful? Of course, and in several ways. On a recent vacanza a Italia, the hood proved its worth not only as an excellent flare mitigator, but protected the front elements from damage (and I generally consider my gear babied) made possible by careless other tourists. Of course, the hood was a necessity during lengthy evening/night exposures, as well, in heavily traveled areas (Spanish Steps) because of the large doses of light provided streetlamps.
A slotted hood might ultimately provide better flare oblation across the entire zoom range, but this hood does its job.
For those who wonder, the hood works with both the DO and non-DO 70-300mm lenses.
For the record, I won't drop the star rating because of an excessive price. Protect your kit - and your exposure plane: use a hood.
Expensive but worth it! November 24, 2009

Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size in this item but it really is a must have for all lenses. They are pretty expensive for being made of plastic but they get rid of the "haze" that was a huge problem in my pictures so definitely worth it!

Works as designed, performs well with intended lens, construction is plastic though.
Great Lens Hood February 18, 2008
Lyndon Johnson (Goldsboro, NC)
This is a really nice lens hood. The inside is lined with a sort of thin velvet black material that also absorbs light. I have had no flares using this hood. Goes on and off the lens easily.

This is a must have item if you are shooting on a sunny day. You can control flare, plus it protects your lens. Canon should include it with the lens.
