Canon ET60 Lens Hood for EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 SLR Lens

An excellent glare hood 2008-05-17

This is a real Canon Lens Hood and it fits perfectly, as expected.
It is not rigid plastic which is also a good thing when it comes time to store it. If it does get bend out of round slightly it returns to it's original shape.

ET60 Lens Hood 2008-01-19

I bought this as a gift for a amateur photographer, and she loves it. She uses it on her new SLR camera and gets beautiful photos! The price was good and the delivery time was much quicker than if I had to go out and purchase it.

Hood for long lens 2007-09-23

The hood works nicely, especially when one wants to elimanate side light from hitting the lens.

Works great! 2007-05-30

I have had no problems with this lens hood! it is attached to the 75-300 USM 58mm lens

Doesn't Fit EF 75-300 Series I 2007-03-02

I also was unable to get this hood to fit my lense. I am using an older model EF 75-300 (not Series III or USM or IS). I called Canon tech support. They looked up the lense, apologized for the misprint on the Canon packaging, and said that the ET-64II will fit this lense. Hopefully it will fit.

EDIT: Tried the ET-64 as well - doesn't fit either. If you have a series I lense, you are stuck with a generic screw on 58mm lense-hood.

Maybe a bit big 2007-01-18

Even for a telephoto zoom, this lens hood is a pretty good size, sticking some 3" out past the lens. However, it is very lightweight, durable and will protect your lens from the occasional bump that always seems to happen, especially with such a long lens on your camera. It is rather a pain taking it on an off whenever you want to store your lens back in a case, so I suggest getting a longer lens case and just leaving it on.

works fine except at ~75mm 2007-01-16

It's a lens hood, what more can I say. It works fine for protecting from glare but at about 75mm focal length it does cause some vignetting on the corners of the frame. I hardly use it, I find my hand is just as effective at blocking the sun.

Doesn't fit my CANON 75-300 f/4.0-5.6 2006-03-23

I'm obviously quite disappointed since the hood doesn't fit my lens. Maybe it fits only the 75-300 USM ?? The package and all the descriptions seem erroneous...

The ET60 fits the affordable Canon 300mm lens but if you're using it with, for example, a Rebel 300D or XT, it will also fit onto the standard 18-55mm lens -- however, when fully zoomed out, part of the hood is visible, creating somewhat of a circle in the frame. I happen to think it looks really cool, gives it a fisheye sort of feel. In regards to the 300 use, it seems to work pretty well and I use it at all times -- bright sun or late afternoon. As most people probably have said, lens hoods in general not only shade the lens from stray light or weird angles of the sun (which often, without a hood, makes the photo hazy or grey) but it also provides protection for the lens itself and filter. It's not much money if you're into photography, and it makes your lens look awesome. If you're a beginner and purchased a 300mm, you don't really need to get the hood. Keep it as something to look forward to once you've got some experience. Either way it's a nice piece to use.
