I bought this for my L series because although buying the lense brand new and it comes with one alraedy, i've seen that the hood gets scratched.
So i bought another one, in times where i just want to be flashy, i can pull out the new hood and make it look good, haha.
And in case my hood breaks, i have a replacement.

This is way overpriced for what it is and Canon is too cheap to include it with the lens-- shame on them. It is just crazy to have to be "taxed" an additional $30+ on a $700 lens that should come with a lens hood. It works fine, it is just the price that is the issue. I'm kind of sorry I didn't take the risk of buying a third party brand lens hood. The Canon hood is just made of plastic as is the third party brand (BTW I thought the third party brand was also overpriced at $15+). To me, this hood is worth maybe $10 but certainly no more than $12. Part of the reason I bought the Canon is that Amazon provided free shipping since it was over $25. The $15+ hood got bumped up to over $20 with the shipping. I would have tried the third party brand but there is no telling the quality of those plus the cost difference was to close with the shipping so I just decided to bite the bullet and pay up. It is wise to have the hood especially for bright days but the price is definitely a rip.

First of all, this particular lens hood is "recommended" for several different lenses. I suspect that is why some people find that it is "visible" when looking through the viewfinder at widest angle settings, while others do not. I purchased this for the Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens (used on an EOS 50D) after reading lots of positive reviews. I am a firm believer in the philosophy of always shooting with a lens hood in order to add more protection to the front of the lens, as well as to protect against glare from peripheral light sources.
This hood fit the 10-22mm lens perfectly and is snug. It can be reversed and mounted on the lens for storage, just as with other Canon lens hoods. While it's usable on several Canon lenses, its flower petal seems to be sized for the 10-22mm lens. I say this because if you experiment with a 1/8th inch tab projecting in to the viewing angle of the lens when set at 10mm, you'll see the tab paint out a perfect rectangle in the viewfinder as you trace the petal contour. (i.e. the petal is JUST out of sight at 10mm)
The large 77mm front of this lens is hungry to capture stray light from any source, and this hood does a good job blocking some of that unwanted light. I noticed less glare on outdoor shots right away.
As claimed in other reviews, this lens hood does have a large diameter. It's large petals (top and bottom) are 4.25" diameter, while its small petals (left and right) are a whopping 4.75" diameter. The 10-22mm lens is 3.25" in diameter where the hood attaches. However, this "oversizing" of the hood is intentional and if you look at its molding, you can see that the designers took every possible opportunity to step and flare the petals outward, in order to allow projecting the petals farther in front of the lens (and blocking more peripheral light) without becoming a regular unwanted subject in your photo's shot at 10mm.
This hood won't fit in to any of my lens cases while attached to the lens. I'll live with that for now, but will look to upsize a couple of my cases to remove the step of adding/removing this hood between shooting and lens storage. I don't mind the extra step, but feel like the less one has to handle any lens, the less likely it will be to get dropped. For that reason, I always mount the lens first, and THEN the hood. Likewise in reverse, always remove the hood while the lens is on the camera, and then remove the lens and move it directly to its case.
I'd strongly recommend this lens hood for the EF-S 10-22mm lens. It's cheap insurance and does a good job with reducing glare.

But I purchased it for my wide angle and I guess I'm not doing something right or the lens wouldn't make a shadow on all of my pics. I just don't think this lens should have a hood.
Otherwise, it's like all of the rest of my hoods. Seems sturdy enough.

A lens hood is essential. All of my Canon high-end lenses came with the hood packed in the box. The 10mm-22mm lens is a very fine quality lens and feels like one of the pro "L" lenses in construction and in image quality. It is also expensive enough to qualify, so why not include the lens hood?
Since it was not included however it is a necessary purchase.
