  Very Good Lens Hood November 23, 2008
This lens hood was purchased for Canon 50mm 1.4 lens.
It is good and performs as designed. Highly recommended.
No complaints other than Canon should include lens hoods
with all lenses, should not have to purchase separately and
Pricey for plastic is why only 3 stars.
 Does the trick - a must have accessory November 16, 2008
A little pricy but you gotta have it if you have the Canon f1.4 lens. It reverses on the lens for compact packing in your bag. These hoods aren't as needed for low light conditions obviously but I use it all the time if for nothing else but to add some protection to the front of this little lens.
Fits the lens well October 12, 2008
I was considering a third party lens hood for about half the price for my Canon EF 50mm f/1.4. After reading some of the reviews stating that the third party hoods sometimes are either too tight or too loose I purchased this Canon ES71II and have no complaints about it. It fits the lens very well - not too tight not too loose. Maybe a bit on the tighter side, but it's not a problem.
Overall, this hood does what it has to do, albeit for somewhat high price (as for a simple piece of plastic and felt)
 simple, effective September 17, 2008
works fine. wish it were made out of metal though. the plastic feels a little cheap. the inside of the hood is coated with a nice matte fuzzy material to avoid reflecting light; a really nice touch.
As vital a protective accessory as a wide brim hat on a sunny day August 28, 2008

The 50mm f/1.4's front element is already deeply recessed which is most likely why the lens is more flare resistant than other 50mm lenses. This O.E.M. hood is the only well-fitting accessory necessary to 'complete' this lens. Since I don't like to reverse the hood during storage, removing the 58mm lens cap is tricky with my large thumb and index finger.
Canon provides the hood for all of their L lenses. It only makes sense to buy a hood for all non-L lenses you own. It is as vital a protective accessory as a wide brim hat on a sunny day.
