Canon Lens hood 
2008-06-09
This hood is solid and never twists off accidentally, like some of the imitations. It helps keep fingers away from the lense glass and works properly to keep out stray light without hurting the exposure. I recommend this product.
Works as a hood should, very high build quality 2008-06-02
I've had quite a few hoods, but this was my first "genuine" Canon hood (my previous lenses had been Sigma lenses).
First: do you need a hood? Instead, ask yourself: do you shoot outside, ever? If the answer is 'no', then you likely won't need the hood. If the answer is 'yes' then you will need the hood or to jerry-rig something equivalent (tip: a blackened index card and a rubber band can take the place of a hood in a pinch, and is much easier to apply than holding your hand out to shade the lens).
Second: build quality. There's not much to a hood. It just needs to cast a shadow, and, honestly, it's not hard to design something that does that. The "trick" to a hood is that it can be easily applied to a lens (because you don't want to stow your lens away with the hood extending beyond the front element). Canon's lens hood mount is different from, say, Sigma's (Canon hoods have two interlocking tongue/groove sections instead of three as with the Sigmas), so your third-party hoods won't work here. Where the Canon hood shines, compared to Sigma's own hoods and a third party hood I bought for my other Canon lens, is build quality. This is a single-piece hood. There is no flimsy attachment between the hood proper and the manufacturer-specific mount ring (obviously, because Canon dosn't need to support other manufacturer's mounts). The anti-reflective "velvet fuzz" coating on the inside adds an extra touch of class to the device.
Overall, it's not hard to fill the role of a hood, functionally. Canon really went the extra step here, delivering a high-quality tool which takes secondary aims (durability, reflections from shiny black plastic) into account.
You will likely want a hood for your lens. You owe it to yourself to get the Canon hood here.
Genuine part, works as it should 2008-05-30
This is a great addition to my 40D's kit lens. It looks more "professional" with the lens hood attached, and it keeps the glare out of the lens when shooting outdoors.
Good everyday lens - but not an L Lens 
2008-05-26
Of the Canon consumer lenses the 28-135 MM may be one of their best and most useful lenses, a great value for the price: practical everyday focal range, good IS, fast focusing, quiet USM, and decent IQ. Lens build is not up to highest Canon standards--my lens has a little bit of shaky feel, but still operates well and USM works smoothely. I also have a 17 - 40 MM f/4 L and a 70 - 200 MM f/4L IS USM Canon lenses, which I are both incredible and superior. However until I can afford a $1,000+ Canon 24 - 70 MM f/2.8 USM L or 24 - 105 MM f/4 L IS telephoto, the 28 - 135 MM is a capable walk around lens.
If you cannot afford the much more expensive Canon L mid rage telephotos--the 28- 135 is the next best thing. The EW78BII Lens hood is a useful accessory as is a good UV filter and B+W polarizer.
The HOOD 2008-05-11
The "petal" shape of this lens hood was a first for me, but I'm ok with it. So far so good, it's doing what it is suppose to do (designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens)
Gr8 product, ridiculous price 2008-07-24
This is a Gr8 product, and I'd give it 5 stars, but for the price. Canon should be ashamed, selling this plastic hood for $30.00, ( plus or minus a buck or two ) especially when Nikon includes it with there camera's.
good 2008-07-19
I dont always use the hood because it must be removed from the lens to fit into my bag but it connects quickly and easily.
Canon EW78BII Lens Hood 2008-07-15
Great protection for lens as well as diminishing any unwanted light rays that might distort or ruin a perfect take!
Canon lens hood 2008-06-26
Does just what it is supposed to do. Just make certain that you do not get anything on the inside of the hood, because it wants to stick to the felt-like anti-reflective material on the inside.
Canon quility and good price 2008-06-13
For the price, this is one nice hood. i have had generic hoods in the past and figured i would pick up a genuine canon hood. was very surprised in the difference. this hood had a very fine matte black texture to the inside of the hood to help reduce reflection into the lens. this is a great little item to pick up when you are shooting in sunlight.
