While it bothers me to have to spend this much money on a piece of plastic, I will say this thing is pretty tough. I use mine as much to protect the lens as I do for protecting from lens flare. I'm a photojournalist and I end up in a lot of very dusty places and surrounded by dozens of little kids wanting their photo taken. Needless to say, I get bumped into quite a lot and this thing has saved my lens more times than I can count. It is also pretty solid. It has never cracked and I only replaced my first one after a solid 10 years of use and abuse. Canon ain't cheap, but it's worth every penny.

Great hood, you just have to be extra cautious when securing it to the lens to be sure it attaches perfectly....otherwise it can fall off and if you are sailing in the ocean, it may end up in the salty brine.

It's hit or miss if a Canon lens will include the hood. The place that I ordered the lens from didn't say anything about the hood being included. So I went ahead and ordered the hood from Amazon so I had it when the lens arrived. The authoritative site is Canon's site and check what is included in the box for any given lens. Naturally the lens hood was included, so I ended up selling this for a loss.Anyway... yes. You can buy a cheaper knock-off lens hood for about half the price. However a lens hood is not a decorative object just stuck on the end of your lens to make your lens look big. It IS serving a purpose. You want to reduce flare on a capture, so you're attempting to eliminate stray light hitting the lens surface. Buy a cheap Chinese knock-off hood, and what do you see? A nicely polished glossy interior to the hood. Canon's hood has a flocking on the interior of the hood which is designed to cut down on the light hitting the lens surface.
