• Designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens
• Ensures no problems with vignetting or motor functions

Designed to fit Canon EF 70-300 f4-5.6 Diffractive Optics Image Stabilization USM and 70-300 f4-5.6 Image Stabilization USM lenses

Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering by extending and shading the end of the lens, ensuring no problems with vignetting or motor functions. Additionally, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Lens hoods match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.

This lens hood fits the following Canon lenses:

• EF 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 DO IS USM
• EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM

You really need a lens hood for the EF 70-300mm lens if you are shooting in strong sunlight as the lens is prone to sunspots. Beside the fact that this hood makes it look like you are wielding a bazooka it does the job is is meant to well. I can not tell you this is good value, $40 for a cheap bit of plastic is an amazing rip off. If you can find one manufactured by another company go for it, otherwise suck it up -- there is nothing you can do.

This is a great product. It is easy to install and remove. The coating inside the hood is excellent for preventing the flare.

I am glad that amazon can offer just about anything that you would want. Was glad to find this product online at a good price. If I had to buy from a local dealer would have pay more than what it was worth. Keep up the good work amazon.

Absolutely great item and super service.
I just used both at the big swim meet event and loved them both .
The camera grip helped me to hold the camera steady and also relax when I did not have to shoot but in the same time have the camera right on my wrist.
Excellent buy,excellent place to buy from.Shipping and handling w/o any problems.I am giving you 5 star.
Thank you very much.

The camera lens Hood I received was just what I wanted. I was suprised
at how fast it was delivered too. It is made from high quality plastic
and is large enough to prevent unwanted glare.
