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.

User Reviews about Canon EW65II Lens Hood for Canon EF 28mm f 2.8 & EF 35mm f 2 SLR Lenses

Lightweight plastic, but not cheap feeling. There's no hint of a seam between the outer plastic and thin inner layer of textured/light absorbing material. Doesn't feel like it's going to fall off my Canon EF 35mm f/2 Wide Angle Lens for Canon SLR Cameras, onto which the hood clips effortlessly.

Seems like a decent length (long enough to catch oblique light) but I haven't been able to test in bright sunlight yet.

Sadly, it does not fit my Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Wide Angle Lens for Canon SLR Cameras. Wish there was more standardization of lens hoods so I didn't need more than one.

It's not a heavy, metal, screw-on hood for an L-series lens, but one of those would look silly (and add purpose-defeating weight) fitted on the two rather small primes for which this is designed.

Recommended. -- lightweight hood for small prime lenses

I been using this hood for about 3 weeks now. It looks great on the 40D. It does it's job well... although, I mainly bought it for the look factor. =) -- Canon EW65II Lens Hood Review

I bought this because every once in awhile I would get sun spots,not very often, but they always killed my photo. I have not taken this hood off since I put it on and no bad photo's. -- Works great

Excellent craftmanship, with proud "MADE IN JAPAN" imprinted on it. The inside of the hood where the light gets absorbed instead of reflecting is specially treated, which almost feels like cloth.
I compared this genuine hood with the one (for Canon 50mm lens) I ordered from Hong Kong on eBay, which I paid only less than $8.00. I may have saved $20, but think about carring this lens for years with a fake hood attached to it. Worth $20? I think not. Spend extra $20 and have a pride of ownership and feel RIGHT. -- Pride of ownership

Canon EF 35mm F/2 lens glares easily from the stray sun rays, so a hood is necessary.

PROS:
* Easy to attach and detach (Snaps on, no need to align the dots).

CONS:
* Unlike screw-on hoods, the attachement to the lens is wobbly and doesn't feel solid.
* Not large enough to protect from all the glares. Occasionally, I have to use my hand or a baseball cap as an improvised hood extesion. -- So-so hood, but this lens really needs it..
