Most expensive piece of plastic I ever bought... by .. K. Chan (Oakland, CA USA)
but a very useful piece of plastic! I have no idea why Canon doesn't include this when you spend 1K+ on a lens. Filters may have many different brands and types, but the hood should be standard and be included. Come on Canon! Are you going to leave out the lens cap for the next line of lenses you release?

The Canon EW-83J Lens Hood was shipped promptly and works as advertised. It is the proper hood for the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens. The only downside, given the price of the lens, is that it should have been included by Canon with the lens in the first place. I have found that all Canon photo products are outstanding and that you really can't go wrong in using them.
it's big, but it fits... by .. Philip M. Pellouchoud (San Diego, CA USA)
it's annoying you have to buy this separately and that it's so expensive, but it fits, does what it's supposed to. what else can I say? :-)

It is well-made. It is made from Japan. It is quite large and took up space in your bag. It keeps flare away from the photo-taking and we do need it with the wide-angle lens especially at 17mm.

The lens hood adds some protection for the expensive Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras at a cost, and not just monetary. I've read that the hood protects from flares and such, but I have yet to see richer colors as some web site described.
Still, there have been plenty of recommendations that I've read that I went ahead and purchased it.
