Has been using this lens hood for my Canon 18-200mm lens and I absolutely love it. The attach and detach mechanism is very convenient. Also, the hood does not produce any vignetting unlike other lens hoods that I have tried.

I use this on my sigma 150-600mm lens and it works great. I use a lowepro backpack which would knock the cap off from time to time and leave the front glass element exposed. now I cap it and then place the sleeve over the hood (hood is reversed for portability) and now it is a non issue. After i Set up my gear for a hike or on tripod I use only the sleeve to cover the hood when transporting since the hood itself protects the glass. Takes a while to learn how to put it on fast, but it is instantaneous on removal.

Let's just get one thing clear right away: This item costs around $13 to $16 at the time of this review. The genuine Canon lens hood for the EF 35mm f/2 IS costs around $60. (You have to buy it separately, simply because this is not an L lens, even though the original price for the lens was $150 more than my 70-200mm f/4L.) That is a huge difference! So what do you give up?

My Canon L lenses came with hoods that have a smooth felt around the inside surfaces to absorb light and keep it from bouncing into the lens elements. This third party hood only has a luster-type (semi-matte) finish, which might not be as effective. I saw that other users applied their own felt or textured tape to the inside of the hood, which shouldn't be too difficult. It certainly wouldn't cost the $45+ price difference!

I was very impressed with the firm fit and ease of attaching the hood to the lens. For the price, I didn't expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The plastic mount turns smoothly and locks into place. I'm not a pro and don't abuse my equipment, so I'm not too concerned the locking mechanism breaking or wearing out. If it does, I can buy three more of these for the price of the Canon! Right now it feels very positive and firm, and there is no rattle, even if I grab the tip of the hood and wiggle it. To me, it feels the same as the hoods on my L lenses.

One thing I like about the hood is it can be attached backwards and fit into my bag easily, whether attached to the camera body or by itself. My L lens hoods are too big to work this way.

I don't feel like I'm missing anything compared to the hoods that came with my L lenses, except the felt on the inside surfaces. I would recommend this product to friends. I can use the $45 I saved on filters or other accessories!

As a new person on Amazon, I was quite skeptical on purchasing things that are sold from China. However, purchasing pieces of plastic like these lens hoods, what was there to lose? I doubt they would send me some random piece of plastic instead of their aftermarket lens hoods. I bought it for about $4 (better than buying Canon OEM lens hood which costs $$) and received at the earliest of the estimated delivery time (I also bought this right after Christmas, so you'd expect it to get delivered slower than usual). I finally got it and was very impressed. The plastic is strong and durable, and not to mention better looking than Fotodiox's and Canon's. Looks awesome on the kit lens. Best $4 ever spent.

I purchased one 58mm hood for my new Olympus e-620 camera. It was quite simple to use. I simply screwed onto my len's filter and my camera lens had instant protection from bumps and shocks. In fact, it protected one of my lenses right off the bat. My horse-of-a-dog ran up next to me and banged my lens into a doorway frame. The hood acted like a shock absorber. I am sure that my lens didn't suffer a bit. The hood can be removed from the lens when its use is no longer required (lens storage) or you can roll the hood back to its origional shape. The hood extends out to about three inches past the end of the lens with an angle that has not produced any vignetting with any of my lenses including my macro, wide-angle, and telephoto lens. I did expand the hood towards my pop-up flash so that it would not block any of the light from the flash. I was so impressed with the hood that I purchased three more in both 52mm and 58 mm that would fit just about all my lenses.

This is first Lens Hood I have kept for my camera! This is also the first hood that does not show in my pictures, while on. I love the fact that it comes with a lid additionally! I lost my lid right after ordering this kit.

I bought this to use in conjunction with a Canon Rebel T1i with a 50mm 1.4 lens. I have a UV filter on the lens as well. This lens hood was easy to install and is easy to turn around when not needed. Great value!

This hood fits nice and secure on my lens.  I'm not sure why others have complaints, I've had no issues with it at all.  Three years now and still holding up well to lots of use.

The hood is good and fits my Cannon Rebel perfectly.  I am able to use the hood along with the UV filter that I had already installed.  The hood definitely makes the camera look more professional and also provides extra protection if you bump the camera against a hard surface. You cannot go wrong with this hood.

The Tamron 10-24mm lens is one of my favorite pieces of gear, but I have a love/hate relationship with the hood.

What do I love? I'm on my 4th hood from Tamron. Three times my camera fallen with the hood absorbing all of the damage. The lens and camera have been fine, just the hood has broken.

What do I hate? I'm on my 4th hood from Tamron. Generic hoods result in unacceptable vignetting. The Tamron branded hood is the only one that fits right. I wish it wasn't so proprietary.

TL;DR: Great hood, protects the lens in rough situations, just wish it didn't cost so much to replace.

Got a chance to borrow one over the weekend. Tried it on 3 of my premium lenses with an 82mm front element.
Nikon 105 f1.4/Sigma 135 f1.8 and the Sigma 50-100 f1.8 All I can say is they performed like the filter wasn't
there. Often shooting in tight quarters, I'm inclined to go w/o the OEM hood. A little peace of mind having this
superbly made offering to protect my glass (with no ill effects) Just ordered my very own, I'll be here tomorrow!

I needed a lens hood for my 18-140mm nikon lens 67mm attachments. These fit perfectly onto the lens with my NC filter attached already. The rubber one is good too, you will need to zoom in a bit to avoid the frame of the hood because its pretty big, although the rubber hood is collapsable. The tulip is a hard plastic. Also includes the micro fiber cleaning cloth.

This hood fits perfectly on the new 18-55 STM kit lens that came with my SL1.  Highly recommended!

I believe the hood latches better than the factory Nikon lens hood which fell off while taking photographs from an open car train ride.  It's well built with a very positive latching mechanism.  But it releases very easy also.  I just turn it around and slip it over the lens for storage. I love it.

I bought this I really was not sure what to expect. The hood does show up in the images but I honestly like it more than my lotus hood. It keeps stray light out. I may have to watch my framing while taking the picture. But the way I see it is it is making me learn a new technique and shoot for the crop. If there is not enough room to shoot for the crop either collapse it to fit your needs. I am fairly new to photography and am only doing this for a hobby so I do not have a ton of experience but it has helped me maintain my lighting especially on very bright days. I also think of it this way if you bump a hard plastic hood there is a chance of it cross threading and getting stuck on the lens. If this on bumps something it collapses.

My prior lens hood didn't screw on to the lens.  This one does which is why it is rated so high.  It was a breath of fresh air when I saw that it cna screw on directly to the lens..

Was looking for a collapsible rubber lens hood for my 18-140mm Nikon lens which didn't come with a hood.  I wanted a collapsible hood because the lens goes from wide angle to telephoto.  The Goja hood looks to be very high quality and and allows me to keep it on the lens and still use the lens cap to protect the front element.  I had my camera with the hood attached crammed into my backpack for a few days and when I took it out, it looked out of round from the weight of the camera and lens bearing down on it.  I expanded the hood and it snapped right into place.  Collapsing the hood to the other lengths, it still retained it's round shape.  Not sure about long term effects, after all, rubber can be deformed by over time but I plan to put a piece of spare foam under the lens to prevent this happening.  Overall, a great lens hood from a great company.  And this is an unbiased opinion because I paid full price for the lens hood.
