Review on 📸 Optimized Reversible Lens Hood Shade Protector for Canon EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM & EF-S 18-55mm F4-5.6 IS STM Lens on Canon Rebel T8i T7i T6i T5i SL3 SL2 EOS 90D 80D 77D 70D 850D 800D - Compatible Replacement for Canon EW-63C by Justin Smith

This lens hood looks very nice but has a major design flaw. The spring mechanisms (two small pieces of plastic) are so hard and tight that I would have to use tremendous force to twist the hood into place. This puts a lot of wear and tear on the aperture mount on the front of the lens. There may also be internal damage to the lens from twisting the front side excessively. The lens is all plastic, EF-S 18-55 IS STM, and I don't want to risk damaging it. I disassembled the small spring mechanisms, cut and sanded a bit so that the hood is easy to put on now. I chose this because it costs a lot less than the official Canon. But I don't recommend this course of action, and if I had to do it again I would return it rather than try to change it. Lucky and it might work well for you.
