What others canon hoods are comparable to EW-83F
1401651
The EW83E lens hood fits the Canon 17-40 L lens specifically. It has a 77mm thread and this particular hood flares out quite a bit to avoid vignetting on the rather wide 17mm end. It will of course fit any lens with a 77mm opening but it most useful for this wide angle zoom lens. A rule I have learned to follow is to buy ONLY CANON hoods with Canon lenses. They won't let you down especially if you screw them on and off frequently. Third party lens hoods just don't always have the right threads and will get stuck or stripped on the lens. So to answer your question; however, it depends upon what lens you are using the hood for. A telephoto lens of 100mm plus, for example, would be better served by a longer hood. So I guess compatibility here is relative. Any 77mm lens hood will fit a 77mm lens opening but they are usually designed to work with a specific lens or mm range. I hope this helps.

I used the hood to protect the front element as I didn't like running a UV filter. You can find the hood on eBay (not Sony brand) for less than 150. They even have rangefinder leica style hoods

Lens hood that came with the Tamron works fine. Look for a Tamron lens hoods that fits it, I don't know the model number, but should be easy to find. Sorry for your trouble.

The specifications for this hood has only Panasonic cameras listed. Try using a search on the net for "LCD hood for Canon G16".

My opinion, yes, if for nothing else but for extra bump protection. I picked up the knock-off Canon ET-60 for my lens for $5 or $6 on Amazon. It is identical to the Canon one which was almost $30 I think. (It is only a piece of plastic, unless you're a total Canon snob. But even the knock-off says Canon on it so you can pretend it cost 5 times more.) I even got the useless little hood for my 18-55mm kit lens which serves no other purpose except minor bump protection and gives something else to grab onto when manual focussing. An added bonus of using hoods on these lenses is you can easily stand them on their ends without rolling away when changing lenses, for that it is worth the couple of dollars they each cost. On the 55-250mm I do think the hood cuts down on flare, I have taken many photos in harsh sunlight on vacation and I had zero issues with lens flare, also no vignetting issues with the ET-60. From my understanding the ET-60 model is designed for the 75-300mm but works with the 55-250mm. It also makes you look cooler because it adds a few inches so you have this giant looking lens sticking out and I feel more important taking pictures that way. Don't get a flower shape you need the round. Also it is reversable so you can install it backwards for storage. If you're interested the model EW-60C fits your 18-55mm kit lens, assuming you have and use the kit lens.

No issues here of any kind when using this hood. I also have a 49mm B+W filter always mounted on it, since I don't use the lens cap. No issues.

If you buy it new, yeah. It fits American-sold cameras (not sure if there's any difference in fitting a lens to a European or Asian camera anyway), and it has lens covers and a soft case. I can't remember if mine came with a hood or not (I think it did).

Hi Steve, i bet the 58mm Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood will be better off with a Canon 18-55mm kit lens. You may have have challenges using the hood with a 50mm lens

Yes, this is the lens hood that I have fitted to my canon 10mm-22mm, you will find that it fits perfectly.

No problems whatsoever. Lens hood will work just the same and be able to reverse for storage.

I have taken mine off since I spent more time removing it to get various shots than keeping it on. But that's my way of taking photos. Perhaps it would be different for you. At the price, it was worth it to get the filters even if the hood didn't work out so well.

There is no way. There is no filter thread so no extra lens hood or filter can be attached. The built in lemns hod provides some protection. I try to keep the lens cap on between sorts, but that's not too handy.

I got the lens adaptor for the filter lenses, which are 58mm. There are a varity of hoods that fit that standard size. There are a few designs, full tube types and even collapsable ones. Just whichever one fits your needs. I actually have two. You'll also need a standard 58mm size lens cap. I recommend getting the one with a tether string with elastic loop that fits around the main lens of the camera. This will keep you from losing the cap. It's short enough to not be in the way and makes it all worry free so to speak. Filters also help protect the main lens from dust and scratches. So even keeping a standard UV filter on all the time is important for not only haze and glare, but protection as well.

The one I recieved did not come with a hood. I ended up returning it because I didn't check compatibility with my Nikon, oops.

Yes. The lens I purchased came with the canon ew83h lens hood and a few other things. The retailer was "get it digital"

Tamron included a lens hood when I bought my lens so I don't know which other one would work. You might double check to see if the lens hood is still included.

The Fotodiox hood fits my 18-135mm Canon lens perfectly. It is a good, well-made lens shade.
