The Fotodiox Lens Hood fits perfectly on my 18-55mm Nikkor lens. I have not had any problems with it.

check to see what the diameter of your lens is. Did you get the kit lens? I did not, so I can't really tell you. However, I will say that you should buy Canon products and not a generic. I bought a generic Lens hood and it was a total waste of money.

Hi pablocruzz, Front lens is 43mm.Nowhere to place a hood, Lens is great value use it all the time. Doesn't seem to be any noticeable deterioration of quality.

The hood should not interfere with the normal lens cap. At least it doesn't on mine. I am able to use the cap that came with the lens.

Well, it fits but you can not reverse it to save room in your bag. There are two 55-200 DX Nikkor lenses, this hood is for the cheaper, smaller one.

Yes, this is the lens hood that I have fitted to my canon 10mm-22mm, you will find that it fits perfectly.

The hood is perfect for my camera and I use it to deflect sunlight. Care should be used in connecting it and make sure it "clicks" into place. No problems with it since purchase for my SX30.

the collar that you thread on to the filter threads is where you fit the hood on, both for reverse and photo taking positions. it doesn't work well, its very tight and i ended up not using it. i just got the canon hoods for the lens instead.

You can add filters designed for that lens (50mm f/1.8). Same as the hood. See previous answer

Yes, this lens hood fits your lens. Just line up the marks and push while rotating the hood until it locks in place.

The one I bought fits, but the mounting screws do not fit the holes in the hood, and I don't want to drill more holes, shouldn't have to. Still looking for some screws that will fit. I should have sent it back, but have had it to long now. Hope this helps.

The company makes hoods for about every size lens. You have to determine what Canon lens you have to get proper fitment. It is dependant on the lens, not the camera

What I have is 28-300 lens, yes it fits perfectly (but not with lens hood.)

It's a general hood so you just need to check the size on your lense. It should say 52mm or whatever size it is. If it matches the size for this hood then you are good to go.

It's a 14mm hood with outside threads.. If your lens is the proper size and has inside threads to accept the hood it should.

There's no optical reason for getting a lens hood anyhow. It seems impervious to flare. Unless you're worried about dropping the lens and scratching the front element, don't fret not having one.
