The addition of a lens hood can help prevent flares--those circles of light that can accompany images where a strong light source is just outside the fame. These type of lens flares occur when indirect light rays pass through the front lens elements but dont make it all the way through to the image sensor. Optekas EW-83J Lens Hood is designed for the Canon EF 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens. Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition since the end of the lens is extended you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. This dedicated lens hood is designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.

Lens hood alt="Opteka EW-83J Lens Hood for Canon EF 17-55mm f 2 8 IS USM LensFrom Opteka " src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star40_tpng.png" width=56 name=pngImage>
The Canon version of this hood costs a staggering $40 dollars depending on where you buy it. I opted to try the Opteka $14.95 version. It fits snugly has the same non reflective coating on the inside and is the same shape. I actually dropped my camera the first night I had this hood. the hood broke but it saved the lens and camera. I ordered another one the very next day. Had I been using the Canon hood I would have been out almost $100. It may be a bit flimsier than the Canon hood but it is strong enough and 1/3 of the price.
It Works
It came it worked it was cheaper than an alternative but it did not make me look 14 years younger. What more can one ask of a small piece of black plastic?
No problems
I was stuck between this and the canon hood. I went with this and am happy. Comes on and off easily and feels secure. I have not noticed any problems all the way zoomed out.
