I don't see that this lens comes with a hood. Is that correct? About to order one.

That is correct, it does not come with a hood. It is a wonderful lens, you will not be sorry!

It does not come with a hood. Cannon includes hoods with L-class lenses, only. There are many 3rd party hoods that don't cost much. Tremendous lens. No other zoom lens comes close for a crop body camera. Fablulous all-around, especially for outdoors. Outstanding landscape lens.

I no longer own this lens, but if think I had to purchase a lens hood separately.

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.

Yes, there is a hood. It's very good, fits well, positive contact to lock on lens

I just checked my camera. I don't see any inside threads for a filter on the lens. I don't know how a lens hood attaches so I am no help on that either. Sorry.

It did come with a lens. At least the one I ordered. I can't remember which lens. I gave it as a gift a year ago and recall. Sorry for not having all the information....

Yes, mine came from the manufacturer with a removable (of course, lol) lens hood. It is the plastic type that attaches to the front of the lens and secures with a quarter-turn.

FYI: I've never bought a lens that didn't come with a front & rear lens cap, and I believe every lens made ships with both.Oddly enough, some Canon lenses do not come with hoods, though this one does.

Most Nikon lenses come with hoods, but this one definitely does. If you are shooting with sunlight the hood is a must.

All of the above. I wouldn't buy a new lens that didn't come with lens caps. The hood is a fixed (non-collapsible) one of limited usefulness, IMHO. The case is designed for the lens, more-or-less hard-sided, with carrying strap. The lens goes inside my camera pack, so I don't carry the case. The lens is great.

When I got my camera, the lens attached that came with it had a lens cover. I bought a second lens and had to order a cap to go with it since it didn't come with one...also, this was a good four or five years ago when I got my camera...I don't know what is included these days...best...it's a sensational camera.

I received this Pentax 21977 DA 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 ED AL (IF) DC WR Lens today ordered through Web Offers via Amazon and it did not come with a lens hood. The included Pentax instructions in the lens box clearly states that the PH-RBC62mm lens hood is provided and it shows how to install it on the lens. It appears that the provided Pentax lens hood was removed from the lens box before it was shipped. Not good. I will return it.

FYI - this lens (at lease the US version) DOES come new with a hood as well as a very nice $50+ zippered soft case and tripod mountthe hood is a twist-on bayonet style similar to all OEM Canon hoods -it is more of a cone-style flat hood, NOT a petal-style hood like the 70-210mm hasthe case stands out as a high cost, high quality item worthy of housing such an expensive lens the tripod mount is completely solid and becomes part of the lens body - it is many times stronger than it needs to be

Yes it does! It comes with a canon lens hood and lens bag. I love this lens.

Normally it comes with a very nice case but I don't remember if it had a hood or not. Normally i never use the hoods of any of my lenses. This lens is one of the nicest and clearest long lenses I have used and the macro capability is very nice because you don't have to get so close to your subject.

As do I. Oddly enough, my lens didn't come with a hood. Weird. I never knew it was supposed to.
