The Canon UV-1 filter for 58mm lenses absorbs harmful ultraviolet rays without increase of exposure, thereby preventing haziness and foggy effects in distant landscapes. It also has a very subtle warming effect, which can be useful to counter the "cool" colors you sometimes get in bright sun or in shade. It can be left on the lens at all times for protection of the camera's lens. ... Read more

I'm not disappointed
I mainly bought this to go on the end of the lens adapter for the S2 IS.It does well to protect the lens, but you can't put a lens cap over it.It ends up being easier to use without the lens cap...and quicker when taking pictures.

I BOUGHT TWO - No Problems
I was concerned when I ordered this filter about the previous problems reported here.But, I was in a hurry and needed two of these for vacation. There was absolutely no problem with the product.Both filters were sealed and in perfect condition.Could have been packed a little better in the shipping box, but arrived in good condition.No problems with photos taken with this product. ...

The Canon 72mm UV haze filter not only helps to protect your lens from dust, moisture and scratches, it also allows you to correct for UV effect and eliminate haze from your photos. This filter will absorb approximately 71 percent of UV rays, helping to eliminate haze's bluish cast that can obscure distant details. This filter easily screws onto your 77mm lenses. ... Read more

Easier to Clean and Replace Than Your Front Element
I never take my UV filter off of my lens unless I am going to immediately put on a different filter.There are basically two camps out there, those that feel you should always use a UV filter to protect your lens from dirt and scratches and those that feel it is a waste of time and only degrades your image.Well, I tried going without one for awhile and then dirt started to build up on the front element of my very expense lens.And although you can clean the front element of a lens, I feel much, much safer wiping my comparatively cheap UV filter time and time again rather than chancing any actual lens damage.I think for the nearly unquantifiable loss in image quality you may suffer by having a UV filter on, it is well worth the extra piece of mind it gives me.

Does what you want
I'm sure there are those who'd wax philosophical over the subject of filters and how one brand is "much better" than another, but for my Canon EF-S 10-22mm on a 20D, I figure Canon would be fairly good at making a filter that they're willing to have branded "Canon." It fits fine, doesn't interfere with the lens hood, looks clear, seems to attenuate that nasty ultra-violet part of the light spectrum and perhaps best of all, protects the front element. What more would one want?

Vignetting Problem
I bought this filter because it looked like a good value for the money. I use it on my Canon 17-40 F4 L lense. It's worked well until a recent set of photos that I did at Knott's Berry Farm.

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.Read more

I like this hood
I own this hood and Canon Digital Rebel XT.
Wonderful package at $25 hood + $75 lens = $100 Lens Deal
I needed a lens hood for my 50mm lens and paying $25 for a hood on a $75 lens might seem ridiculous. However, that might be because the $75 lens is so inexpensive. If the lens was $250 then paying an extra 10% might not seem too bad.I just saw the total cost of the lens and hood for $100 and that's good for a terrific prime lens and its hood.
A good to have accessory
It works great with my EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens.The price of this hood with ring seems pricy compare to the lens price, but it does the job when it's really needed.

A good accessory
A very good accessory to have, protects the lens, and helps in taking very good pictures in some special situations.

Not so good
Yes, I have to agree with the previous review.It doesn't seem to make any difference in reducing lens flare from light sources.It doesn't seem to extend far enough to actually do anything.If it was less expensive I wouldn't mind as much, and just chalk it up to extra protection.But that seems to be all it's good for.

A bit clumsy and pricy
I bought it for my 18-55 EF-S, and it looks like it is not very efficient - but I guess it is normal for a 18mm (x 1.6). I would have prefered a "tulip" design like those of Sigma. ... Read more

not made in Japan
This filter was made in the Phillipines, not made in Japan as you would expect from Canon photographic equipment.For $8, I guess you can't expect too much.

There are better polarizer options than Canon
Polarizing filters are used to eliminate glare on non-metallic surfaces like glass or water. They can also be used to increase the contrast and color saturation of your image. I use my polarizer not only to eliminate glare, but also to make skies a nice shade of blue or to get some "pop" out of clouds.

Improves contrast and image quality
Hoods offer several benefits to the photographer.Primarily the hood shades the lens from stray light that may result in an unwanted discoloration or hazing of the image, or the appearance of lens flare.Shading your lens helps improve contrast and image quality.A hood is not required to eliminate these problems, as any item used to shade the lens will provide the same protection from stray light.The hood is convenient in that it is built to offer protection while ensuring that it will not inadvertently find its way into your image.
Pros and Cons
This hood comes with the 100-400, so don't buy it separately.

Good, but pricey
I agree that this lens hood is a nice and necessary addition to your lens, but to charge over $50 for a piece of hard plastic is insane.I'm glad one of these came with my lens because I'd be really angry if I had to shell out more money for this in addition to the $1800 lens.

Sky Bluer, Water Clearer, Vegetation Less Reflective
I mainly use this when taking landscape shots where I want to either make the clouds pop or liven the sky up some (remember it works best 90 degrees from the sun.)I also put it on when shooting highly reflective vegetation or waterscapes that would otherwise cause blown-out highlights.One other little secrete is to use this when shooting waterfalls since it will allow you to shoot at slower shutter speeds thus increasing the wispy waterfall look.

Great glass BUT it cannot accommodate a lens cap - so keep a hood on (hard if you have large fingers and are using the Canon) or run the risk of scratching it. ... Read more
