The dedicated Vello LHC-ES62 Lens Hood with Adapter is specifically designed for use with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens. Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent flare associated with unwanted stray light by shading the front of the lens barrel. A dedicated lens hood is designed to perfectly match the focal length and design specifications of a given lens. In addition, hoods provide extra protection from accidental impact.

It Works Well
I just received this item today and, of course, immediately placed it onto my Canon 50mm 1.4 lens. It fits perfectly and will certainly do just as good a job as Canon's lens hood (for roughly an additional $13 or so, depending on where you buy it).To use this item, just squeeze the tabbed areas on the sides to place it onto your lens for shooting (to prevent ambient light from straying across the lens) and then squeeze to remove it and reverse its position to store it in your gear bag. It works well.There's not much more to say: It's a piece of circular plastic with a purpose...and a much better buy than Canon's own.
