Product Description
Hoods are one of the most important accessories for each lens you own. A lens hood provides multiple functions: it shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality; in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens; and it protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles.This hood is compatible with EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM.

 Too expensive January 16, 2007

This lens hood is a must if you are serious about macro photography with you 100mm f/2.8. I cannot praise the lens high enough, but that is no reason why Canon should rip us off, asking $40 for a piece of cheap plastic!! Why don't they follow Nikon's example and start shipping their lenses with hoods. After all, good and pricey lenses are for people who are serious about photography, and people who are serious about photography want to have hoods on their lenses!! So Canon, stop being greedy...
I give it a rating of 1/5 simply because the quality/price ratio is terrible.

Yes, the lens hood is pretty expensive for what it is, you have to take in account a few things:
1) You'll take better pictures with it than without it, especially in a bright lightbox or sunny day. I've bought hoods for all my lenses now.
2) Its about the same price as a good-quality UV filter you would use on your lens to protect it while not degrading image quality (ie: not the $10 tiffen filter Amazon is hawking on this page). I personally use both the hood and a B&W UV filter.
3) The lens is almost $500 as it is. $40 isnt the end of the world, especially when you consider what the next step up for Canon macros costs.
4) The lens hood makes the lens look pretty impressive, adding 3-4" to the length. Yes, that's just my opinion, but felt I would share it. ;-)
Anyway, Genuine Canon products are usually pretty pricy, but given the poor-quality third party knockoffs I've tried (shutter release cables, etc) its worth it to just spend the extra money.
 An overpriced piece of plastic. September 28, 2006

Lets face it, it's a $35 piece of plastic. It fits the 100mm f/2.8 macro lens. If you want a hood for this lens, this is the one you need. But at $35, it's WAY overpriced.
a must have accessory July 4, 2007

this lens hood is a must have for your lens...it keeps out the unwanted light, the dust and elements for your shoot, it also protects the lens in the same manner....
 Useful, but expensive December 13, 2007

In addition to shading the lens from glare and preventing lens flare in your photos, a lens hood can also help protect the front element of your lens without degrading image quality (like a cheap UV filter, for example). When using on board or hot shoe flash, it may end up shading your subject from the flash.
After seeing the lens hood that came with my 24-105L, and comparing it to the one on my Tamron, I decided to go ahead, sacrifice a few lunches out, and get Canon hoods for my two other lenses. Sure, they're overpriced, but the 3rd party ones are overpriced as well even at half this price on eBay, and at least I know this one fits well.
I removed one star for the price. Otherwise it's perfect.
Pros:
Fits very well.
Inside is lined with a velvety material that will not reflect light.
Can be reverse mounted on 100mm macro for storage.
Cons:
Price.
Velvety material traps dust and dirt.
Needs to be removed to replace / remove lens cap (not really an issue with the hood - just need to get into the habit of removing cap before putting hood on).
