Lens hood advice for 28-135 is usm

[scottduffy]

I was looking for a lens hood for my 28-135 and was about to buy one from amazon for £18 when i noticed that ebay has them for £5.99 from hong kong. They might not be the correct ones but are made for that lens so does anyone know if these should be ok or better still has anyone bought one.

www.premier-ink.co.uk have EW-78BII hoods listed for £13.70. Should be a lot quicker than those from HK!

A lens hood should be as big as possible, without vignetting, and be black inside. If if is all those things, then it will be fine. Even better if it fits easily and securely, and is reasonably robust.

Personally, I would get the pukka Canon at the price Nod has found.

Edit: I that that is a Marumi copy, not a Canon, but they have a good reputation.
