Rating: - EW-73B EF-S 17-85mm IS USM Lens Hood

Does what it should. Generally i try to look for 3rd party accessories suppliers but in this case i tried another offering that had a rotating screw fixing of annoying design and cheaper construction. This original Canon version turns and clicks nicely in and out of place with no fuss. It's also got a nice black felt type inner lining to the leaves which is presumably less reflective and certainly adds to it being a quality item.

Rating: - Superb, if a little pricey

After 2 months, I could no longer put off buying one of these for my 40D kit lens. It is over priced, but the quality is there unlike some after market screw in junk. Twists into place with a firm click. Nice flocking material inside. All round superb quality.
Lots of space for a filter and it can be reverse mounted on the lens.
I can't see anyone would regret getting one!

Rating: - Just perfect

Canon quality, its just what I needed. It's a piece of plastic in the on of the day, but quality is amazing.

Rating: - It Gets the job done...

I just have to say that this is a nice product and, in the majority of times, it gets the job done!!

So, yeah, I'd recommend this to a friend!

Rating: - Does the job with Canon style

Like other reviewers I put off buying this accessory because I greatly resent paying out the extra money for items or features which should be included in the basic package (e.g. the Canon EF-D Camera Focusing Screen, which I am actually very glad I bought). However, having bought this lens hood I now realise I was just cutting off my nose to spite my own face!

For what is basically a piece of plastic, this product is very well made and has that Canon quality feel to it that we all love. The inner diameter is generously sized so there is plenty of room for circular filters.

The inner ring has two little plastic pressure latches which lock the hood firmly in place with a quarter turn, bayonet-style, whether it is on normally or attached backwards for storage.

The petals themselves are quite large for a hood of this size and they cut out most of the unwanted light you are going to get in your average shooting scenario. Thankfully the petals do not stick out to the sides all that much so this hood is easy to store on the lens without forcing you to rethink your camera bag layout.
