Review on 📷 Canon EW-73B Lens Hood: Ideal Accessory for 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS EF-S and 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lenses by Anthoni Hayes

Yes, the hood can be bought cheaper. It's only there to protect the lens from glare and maybe protect it from scratches, right? This lens was made specifically for the Canon lens that I have. I'm slowly finding space. It has a velvet lining to reduce flare from the lens hood itself. I'm glad I spent the extra money to get a better lens hood. Just remove it when the lens hood makes it difficult to put the camera in your pocket. You can rotate the lens hood and it still fits on the camera lens to take up a little less space. UPDATE: When I have to use the T4i's built-in flash, the aperture often casts a shadow on my subject. . I need to remove the lens hood. But since I rarely use the built-in flash, that's not a problem for me. If you constantly use the built-in flash, you may not need this lens hood, although it has other useful properties. You can also bounce the flash off a mirror, but then you'll need to carry a mirror or put the lens hood in your pocket. Just a few ideas to think about.
