Canon EW78BII Lens Hood for EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Canon SLR Lens

Product Description:

Hoods offer several benefits to the photographer. Primarily the hood shades the lens from stray light that may result in an unwanted discoloration or hazing of the image, or the appearance of lens flare. Shading your lens helps improve contrast and image quality. A hood is not required to eliminate these problems, as any item used to shade the lens will provide the same protection from stray light. The hood is convenient in that it is built to offer protection while ensuring that it will not inadvertently find its way into your image. Photographers often state the protective abilities of a hood as a reason to have one.

Great good2009-06-18
This is a pretty good hood for the 28-135 IS.
It is a little expensive at ~$25 for a piece of plastic, but it gets the job done.
This hood prevents lens flare and it also physically protects the front of the camera when I carry it around.
It reverses on the lens for storage in a case.
Fast service2009-06-09
I received my lens hood very fast...as I do anything I order through Amazon. Thanks!
Lens hood does the trick2009-06-03
This hood from Canon fits the lens perfectly, and is easy-on, easy off, with a twist lock action. It can be mounted "backwards" with the twist lock as well for storage on the lens without elongating the lens. I find myself using it at night as well to block bright lights on the perimeter of the shot. Really makes a difference in glare. The inside of the hood is nicely lined with a non-reflective material so that light that does get "in" doesn't reflect back to the lens face. My only gripe is that with the hood in place, the lens cap is a bit tricky to get on and off, and polarizer adjustments have to be carefully managed to avoid those nuisance oily fingerprint smudges if your fingers "miss" the rim of the filter. For mounting the hood, no need to line up the red dot on the hood with the red dot on the lens, you can just put the hood on and twist until it locks. It will lock at either 90 degree's or 270 degree's - you can't mount it with the wrong orientation! "Matches" the lens nicely as well. I just wish Canon would supply the hood with the lens in the first place. Fast shipping, nicely packaged, good transaction.
Always buy the name brand!2009-04-28
I bought this lens hood to replace the junk aftermarket hood I got on Ebay from Hong Kong. This hood is designed by Canon to fit the Canon lens, and it works perfectly. The Chinese item was complete junk and never fit correctly; it was cheaper by about $10, but it was not worth the savings.

I just recently received this lens hood and have only used it a couple of times. It works just like it is suposed to.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
