A dedicated lens hood helps to minimize flare by deflecting stray light from entering the lens. The hood also provides additional protection to the lens from accidental impacts, bumps, or scratching.
Attention: There are a few Canon 18-55mm lenses, this lens hood is only for the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II, it is sold as a kit lens on the Canon EOS Rebel T7 T6 T5 T4i T3i T2i DSLR camera.
Easy to use bayonet mount attaches to your lens for a tight and secure fit. Just twist on or off. No wobbling or cross-threading. Handy reversible design allows you to attach the hood in reverse for easy storage in your bag.
