    Third party lens hoods



    I'm looking for a cheap third party lens hood for my Canon 17-85...


    What is your experience with third party lens hoods?


    Any suggestions where to buy?

    I don't mind spending the extra $15 - $20 for the Canon model but both Adorama and B&H make one for cheaper:


    Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 17-85mm IS USM Lens (EW-73B) $16.95





    Pearstone LHC-EW73B Dedicated Lens Hood (EW-73B) $16.95

    I know, I was talking even cheaper... you can find them for about $3 - $6 on ebay, but do they worth anything?





    P.S I would buy one from B&H or Adorama for $16 but the problem is that shipping will cost me about $60!

    <span>Maybe this is the ticket. It looks like they will ship to Canada...not sure about what customs issues you'll have or anything else.
