This is a pretty good hood for the 28-135 IS.It is a little expensive at ~$25 for a piece of plastic, but it gets the job done.This hood prevents lens flare and it also physically protects the front of the camera when I carry it around.It reverses on the lens for storage in a case.
Thanks. I received my lens hood very fast.as I do anything I order through Amazon.
Really makes a difference in glare. "Matches" the lens nicely as well. It can be mounted "backwards" with the twist lock as well for storage on the lens without elongating the lens.
For mounting the hood, no need to line up the red dot on the hood with the red dot on the lens, you can just put the hood on and twist until it locks. I just wish Canon would supply the hood with the lens in the first place. It will lock at either 90 degree's or 270 degree's - you can't mount it with the wrong orientation.
This hood from Canon fits the lens perfectly, and is easy-on, easy off, with a twist lock action. My only gripe is that with the hood in place, the lens cap is a bit tricky to get on and off, and polarizer adjustments have to be carefully managed to avoid those nuisance oily fingerprint smudges if your fingers "miss" the rim of the filter. Fast shipping, nicely packaged, good transaction.
I find myself using it at night as well to block bright lights on the perimeter of the shot. The inside of the hood is nicely lined with a non-reflective material so that light that does get "in" doesn't reflect back to the lens face.
The Chinese item was complete junk and never fit correctly; it was cheaper by about $10, but it was not worth the savings. I bought this lens hood to replace the junk aftermarket hood I got on Ebay from Hong Kong. This hood is designed by Canon to fit the Canon lens, and it works perfectly.
It works just like it is suposed to.Bill I just recently received this lens hood and have only used it a couple of times.
