 expensive but a fine product |

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.

Essential In Spite Of Price

The Canon ET67 Lens Hood has actually surpassed my expectations for quality and utility, so much so that I don't mind the price as much as I originally did.
In my view, it is a better way to protect the lens from dirt and damage than a skylight filter. It will protect the lens thread better than a skylight filter in most cases, if the camera is dropped. It affords very effective protection from dirt, smudging, and scratching. It doesn't need to be cleaned, as a filter does. And the improvement in exposure quality that results from shielding a lens from stray ambient light and reflection is underestimated.
If you don't need to use more than one filter on your EF 100mm f2.8 Macro USM Lens and you take pictures outdoors, then the ET67 is an essential accessory. |
Hood, yea, it's a hood :-)

A bit pricey But not Amazon's fault, but
it serves it's purpose quite well in keeping
extraneous light out of the lens, and it
does slip onto the lens in reverse for
easy carry, Amazon shipped quickly and packaged
it well for the trip.

| It's too $$$$ for a little black plastic, but I need it for my lens. |
