Hood, yea, it's a hood :-)A bit pricey but not Amazon's fault, but
it serves it's purpose quite well in keeping
extraneous light out of the lens, and it
does slip onto the lens in reverse for
easy carry, Amazon shipped quickly and packaged
it well for the trip.

Expensive, but a Must Have for I.Q.First of all, I think if you spend this kind of money for the lens, it should some with a lens hood. I guess I'll never understand why Canon is so stingy in this regard.
The hood works as described, exterior plastic does scratch easily (like all Canon lens hoods) and, as another reviewer pointed out, you have to remove the lens cap before putting on the lens hood. Also, I wish there were a way to use the hood in conjunction with the MR-14EX ringlight flash, but it's one or the other.
When I first got the lens, I tried to do without the hood, but was losing some contrast and getting some interference from other light sources, the hood fixed that.
Good but too expensiveThe lens hood fits very well and seems to be reasonably sturdy. However in my opinion it is simply overprized.
Essential In Spite Of PriceThe Canon ET67 Lens Hood has actually surpassed my expectations for quality and utility, so much so that I don't mind the price as much as I originally did.
In my view, it is a better way to protect the lens from dirt and damage than a skylight filter. It will protect the lens thread better than a skylight filter in most cases, if the camera is dropped. It affords very effective protection from dirt, smudging, and scratching. It doesn't need to be cleaned, as a filter does. And the improvement in exposure quality that results from shielding a lens from stray ambient light and reflection is underestimated.
If you don't need to use more than one filter on your EF 100mm f2.8 Macro USM Lens and you take pictures outdoors, then the ET67 is an essential accessory.
Expensive for what it is but it does the jobI bought this product just because I want all my equipment to be canon, so I don't believe there is much difference among this product and the ones produced by non-canon companies. (4 stars because the price)
regards,
Product Description
One of the most important accessories for each lens you own. A lens hood provides multiple functions: it shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality; in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens; and it protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles. Almost all EF and TS-E lenses have a Canon lens hood engineered specifically for it.
