On the Canon site - they list this hood as being compatible with the EF-S 55-250mm IS II lens - does anyone have any personal experience with that?

Yes. I use this on the EF-S 55-250mm IS II. I had exactly the same question you did when I ordered this. I figured I would send it back if it was not exactly the right hood, but it was.

Finally a Great Hood,, I have tried them all. This one actually locks in like an L-Series Hood,you can even hear the Click. I use it on my 55-250, looks a little strange when extended but gets the jibe done Well. You also put in on backwards for storage. Highly Recommend this Hood, don't waste you$ with the other ones!! It's a Long hood so it wouldn't do much good on the 18-55.

It does hold the Canon 70-200 lens with hood. It is a monster of a case in that it takes up so much room in my camera bag as to consider it a hindrance. If you have the space, it is fine. If you don't I would recommend you go back to the original Canon lens case which is much much smaller and put the hood inside your camera bag.

Filters come with only the threads that are needed to fit it on the lens. They do not have threads to hold the hood or anything else. Typically third party hoods come with threads whereas the Canon or Nikon hoods are snap on fit hoods. So if you have a third party hood you can either use it or the filter, not both. Snap hoods are the best as they would accomodate the filter as well.

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

I have the same problem. I just received Canon lens adapter for Canon S3IS. It doesn't fit. There isn't any way to attach it.

sorry, don't know anything about an EF-S 18-55 mm.... but from my limited experience with my Nikon and Olympus lenses, the critical thing is the size of the lens...58mm vs 62mm vs 72mm....My Canon 500d works on every 58mm and smaller diameter lenses as long as i have an appropriate step-up ring... good luck...If unsure, try it... Amazon has been very good at returns if there was a problem

I have a Canon EW-60C Lens Hood. And a Canon EF-S 55-250MM zoom lens. The answer is yes, it does fit.

It physically fits on the lens. However when you zoom out, the hood becomes visible on the sides of the frame. I use a EW-60C hood (about 3/4", or 20 mm long) on the EFS 18-55 mm and the longer Fotodiox ( about 2 1/4" or 55 mm long) on the EFS 55-250 mm lens. For storage, the Fotodiox can be turned around and installed backwards saving space.

Hi Steve, i bet the 58mm Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood will be better off with a Canon 18-55mm kit lens. You may have have challenges using the hood with a 50mm lens

If it is the same EF-S 10-22 that I have, then YES it will definitely fit. This wide angle lens has a wide lip where the hood will attach so this hood will add a wider diameter of "coverage". So, be mindful that on sunny days and at certain angles the hood may shadow its petals in some shots, as well as with some flash shots when indoors, pop-flash and sometimes attached flash. I only really use the hood when I know for sure I'm in a bright environment where it is really necessary. The 10-22 is a fantastic wide angle lens so I don't find that I need the hood most days. Hope this helps! If it is the same EF-S 10-22 that I have, then YES it will definitely fit.

Of course, the camera body isn't a factor (I'm using a T4i body). I have an EF-S STM 16-135mm lens with a U/V filter. The lens hood fits very well. Putting on and taking off the lens cap with the lens hood on may be a bit more tricky though.

The EW83E lens hood fits the Canon 17-40 L lens specifically. It has a 77mm thread and this particular hood flares out quite a bit to avoid vignetting on the rather wide 17mm end. It will of course fit any lens with a 77mm opening but it most useful for this wide angle zoom lens. A rule I have learned to follow is to buy ONLY CANON hoods with Canon lenses. They won't let you down especially if you screw them on and off frequently. Third party lens hoods just don't always have the right threads and will get stuck or stripped on the lens. So to answer your question; however, it depends upon what lens you are using the hood for. A telephoto lens of 100mm plus, for example, would be better served by a longer hood. So I guess compatibility here is relative. Any 77mm lens hood will fit a 77mm lens opening but they are usually designed to work with a specific lens or mm range. I hope this helps.

The Canon specs for the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II call for a 58mm filter so this 77mm would be the wrong size.

Yes this hood is reversible on the EF-S 18-55mm non-IS, IS and IS II lenses as well as the EF-S 55-250mm IS lens however it does not fit the new EF-S 18-55mm IS STM lens and I do not think this will fit the new EF-S 55-250mm IS STM lens.

Check the Canon web site it is very specific about which lens and hood go together
