Canon EW-63C lens hood for EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM objective

Good Quality plastic . This lens hood is meant for the IS STM lens (newer kit lens) . When used with the older lens it falls off easily which is likely why people have said it has a poor fit . However, if you have the new STM version , it fits perfectly perfectly with zero chance of it falling off on its own .

The lens hood fits quite firmly, so you'll need to make sure it's flat against the lens otherwise it's difficult to turn. It has a soft click when turned into place and stays firmly on. It's easy to remove but doesn't seem like it will be falling off at any point. To check compatibility make sure your lens has two tabs on the end. Some slightly older models of Canon 18-55 lenses come with 3 and are incompatible (for example the 18-55mm IS I/II). The plastic is of fairly nice quality, though very, very slightly lighter than the lens' plastic, but this isn't really noticeable unless you're looking for it. It's not soft like icing and doesn't feel especially fragile or edible. The hood is basically identical to a EW-63C, so the shading functions are likely the same for 1/7th of the price. From a few simple tests no element of the hood was visible throughout the full range of the lens' zoom. There's no additional vignetting or looming black shadows in the corner of the viewfinder or other such scary things. So those who are easily frightened can use this hood with ease. It's basically just a cheaper version of the official product. If it breaks or explodes or is coated in hallucinogenic substances I'll update this warning others of the lethality of this small plastic hood. Maybe not if it's the last. One non product thing to note is the delivery window for this item is kind of expansive (as you can see from the item's delivery window). Mine arrived much quicker than the maximum but it's probably not an item to get if you're in a hurry.

Product does what it's supposed to. It sits just outside the lens' FOV at shortest focal length and as far as I can tell is identical in shape and dimensions as canon official. Looses a star because fitting is a little snug for my liking. Takes some pressure to push onto the lens and twist doesn't end with any sort of satisfying click. It actually attaches in a much more satisfying manor in reverse, though I don't know yet if this is the kind of thing that will loosen in time. For the price, it's still a bargain. Like I said, doesn't get in frame at all, sits only just outside FOV, and plastic construction doesn't feel too cheap, doesn't look it either. My particular item arrived wrapped in only two plastic bags however, and had an ~4cm crack around the diameter, but it still functions well aside from tight fitting. For price, can't really complain. Hopefully they will ship future items with a small amount a bubble wrap or something for a little protection. EDIT: Several months on, the fitting has not loosened. I've since purchased an official Canon hood for another lens and the fitting is much better, however this item still functions perfectly fine and don't intend on replacing it any time soon.

Canon Quality and Fit , as they say you cant beat the real thing ,Great price from Amazon Warehouse

I initially bought a pattern lens hood to fit a Canon EF-S 18-55 STM lens, thinking what could be wrong with something as simple as a lens hood? The quality looked okay but it was a very poor fit, so I did what I should have done in the first place and bought the correct hood for the lens from Canon. The difference is well worth the additional cost, so this comes with a recommendation not to waste your money on a cheap pattern item, but to get the correct one in the first place.

As a hood which would normally remain in position on the camera (for instance during sunny shoots) I found it to be quite flimsy and very easily dislodged if left in place. The shape of the hood does provide the necessary shading when shooting in strong sunlight however I found that its locating method very insecure. It has not actually dropped off whilst in use yet but I am not confident this will remain the case. Putting into or removing from an accessory bag is enough to dislodge it. If used with a polarising filter it is very fiddly to rotate the filter without getting fingerprints on the filter surface. It can be done but care must be taken and slim fingers will help..... So from a functionality point of view I can only give an "ok" rating.

Excellent. Took straight out of the box, lined up the red dots for alignment and it was on. Works brilliantly even though not long (due to lens size) and keeps out those extra bits of sunshine that you don't want. Once on you can still then fit any filters over the top - a bit difficult due to the fact you've got to screw them on with fingers in the way of the sides but you can also get your lens cap on. (this isn't a problem with the product that just how it is - so if you have 'man' fingers you might struggle. Can't compare this to unbranded makes but the Canon was good for the extra 'small' amount of difference.

This hood is designed specifically for the STM version of the 18-55mm IS lens, so it's a nice positive fit with no vignetting at 18mm focal length. To those who say otherwise maybe you've not got the STM lens? It certainly won't fit my older version of this lens because that one has three lugs for the EW-60C hood whereas this hood is for the two lug fitting of the STM version, so make sure you buy the correct hood for your lens. As to its effectiveness I can't say yet because sun hasn't been a problem at the time of this review (November). I've knocked a star off because it's overpriced for a piece of plastic, but at least by getting the proper Canon hood you know it will fit.

Vorweg: ja, für so ein billiges Plastikteil, das nur wenige Cent Materialwert hat, ist die originale Canon EW-63C ziemlich - fast schon lächerlich - überteuert, keine Frage. Dies weiss man aber schon vor dem Kauf, von daher wird dieser Umstand nicht in meine Bewertung einfließen - auch, wenn er mir natürlich durchaus sauer aufstößt. ► MATERIAL, VERARBEITUNG & PASSFORM Die Blende besteht aus stabilem, mattiertem Kunststoff, hat an der breitesten Stelle einen Durchmesser von ca. 82mm, ist ca. 32mm hoch und wiegt rund 16 Gramm. Hinsichtlich der Verarbeitung gibt es absolut nichts zu bemängeln: keine scharfen Ränder, Grate oder sonstige Makel. Der Rand der Front ist zudem noch leicht abgerundet. Da es sich hier um Originalzubehör handelt, ist die Passform links wie rechts rum durchweg hervorragend. Nichts klappert, nichts wackelt, die Blende rastet sauber und sicher ein und sitzt dann auch bombenfest. Perfekt. ► FÜR WELCHE KAMERAS/OBJEKTIVE IST DIE BLENDE GEEIGNET? Zunächst: das Kamera-Modell ist hier absolut uninteressant; wichtig ist das verwendete Objektiv. Die EW-63C ist für das Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM ausgelegt. Dies ist das Standard-Kitobjektiv, das mit den meisten aktuellen EOS-Modellen ausgeliefert wird. Auf das Vorgängermodell dieses Objektivs (Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II) passt die Blende NICHT drauf, da dieses ein etwas anderes “Blendengewinde” hat. Hier muss man zur EW-60C greifen. Auf das EF-S 55-250mm f/1:4-5.6 IS STM - und höchstwahrscheinlich den Großteil der restlichen STM-Objektive - passt die Blende zwar auch genauso gut drauf, ob und wie effektiv sie dort aber ihren eigentlichen Zweck - das Abschirmen von Gegen-/Streulicht - erfüllt, steht auf einem anderen Blatt. Als Stoßfänger und Schutz vor Beschädigungen der Linse schützt sie aber alle Objektive gleichermaßen gut. Um unerwünschte Nebeneffekte (Vignettierung, Verdunklung, …) zu vermeiden, sollte man aber möglichst immer die zum Objektive passende Gegenlichtblende verwenden. ► PASST DIE BLENDE AUCH MIT MONTIERTEM SCHRAUBFILTER? JA - mit Einschränkungen! Die Öffnung der Blende ist etwas größer, als die eigentliche Objektivfront, somit kann die Blende problemlos auch über einen montierten Filter mit 58mm Durchmesser und/oder aufgesteckten Objektivdeckel “gestülpt” werden. Nutzt man jedoch z.B. Step-Down-Ringe zur Verwendung von Filtern mit größerem Durchmesser oder auch Filterhalter für rechteckige Einschubfilter (z.B. ND- oder Verlaufsfilter), passt die Blende natürlich nicht mehr. Bei Verwendung eines zirkularen Polarisationsfilters ist zu beachten, dass die Bedienung zwar grundsätzlich nicht unmöglich ist, durch die montierte Blende jedoch etwas fummelig werden kann. Hier empfiehlt es sich, den CPL-Filter bei demontierter Blende einzustellen und diese danach einfach aufzustecken. ► FAZIT Maßlos überteuert, dafür aber qualitativ sehr hochwertig, perfekt verarbeitet und absolut passgenau. Wenn man sich - wie ich - bereits mit günstigeren Nachbau-Blenden rumgeärgert hat, macht die Qualität von Originalzubehör die hohen Anschaffungskosten ein kleines bisschen erträglicher.

えおすきすへ装着 よい

Impeccable

En realidad vi muchos comentarios de que no queda bien, pero pues también hay que saber ponerlo, la verdad no tuve problema y lo guardo así en su funda. Buen material pues es canon

Se adapta bien a la canon y no se mueve. Realiza su función correctamente para parar los rayos del sol
