Third party lens hoods

[Oren]

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!

Oh! I didn't know!! How about Amazon? Same issues with getting it shipped North?

<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.

Sorry I thought I remembered it from another post. I give up!
