Canon EW83E Lens Hood for EF 16-35mm f/2.8L Canon SLR Lens [Posted on 2008-02-29]
The Canon EW83E is the proper hood for the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L Canon SLR Lens. It works as advertised and was shipped promptly. As with the other non-L Canon lenses, I feel that Canon should have included the hood with the lens, given the high price of the lens. The hood is essential for avoiding loss of contrast through ambient light induced flare.
Effective, but a strange design [Posted on 2008-06-13]
This hood is effective for the 17-40 on a fullframe camera, or the 10-22 on an APS-C camera. The problem with the hood is that it is physically very wide. I normally store my hoods reversed on the lens, and then I put the lens in a camera bag. The width of this hood can make that difficult. They could easily have designed a hood that is much closer to the diameter of the lens that would have eliminated this storage problem. This is a goofy hood; if you don't absolutely needs it, try to go without it.

Attaches easily to the lens but I dont always use it because it must be removed to put into my bag.
Another "great-to-have" accessory to go in your camera bag [Posted on 2008-08-13]
I bought this for my EF-S 10-22 lens. The wide-angle lens hood is pretty flat, but large in diameter. That makes it hard to fit in to my camera bag. I can't put the lens into the bag with the lens hood on. I need to detach it and put them in separately. Often, I just get too lazy to put the lens hood back on. I don't notice much difference anyway. I wouldn't say it's a "must-have" accessory. It does block out light and protect your lens. The build quality is excellent too. Yet, I think it's a little bit expensive.
Lost your lens hood/shade [Posted on 2008-11-17]
Comes as standard with the lens.
So unless you lost yours you probably don't need it.
It is however highly effective in keeping those coloured doughnut shaped artifacts out of the image if the sun is potentially just out of shot.
The lens it fits is one of my all-time favourites performance-wise.
