Fotodiox Dedicated (Bayonet) Lens Hood for Canon

Fotodiox Dedicated (Bayonet) Lens Hood, for Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 USM, II, II USM, III & III USM Lenses, Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS Lens as Canon ET-60


Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Dedicated lens hoods are designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.

Costumer Review Fotodiox Dedicated (Bayonet) Lens Hood for Canon
By :Kenneth R. Depree (Sosua, Dominican Republic)

I am happy to confirm all the good things said about this lens hood by the previous posters. Also, this hood is deep enough to protect the lens and shield it from stray light. I used this hood when taking 1500 photos with my Canon 55-250 lens and there was no sign that it affected the photo in any way.

I am very impressed with Fotodiox as a supplier of camera accessories. I now have hoods for two lenses and lens caps, all very well made and purchased for a fraction of what I would have had to pay for the equivalent from Canon or other suppliers.

You will need a center-pinch lens cap if you use this hood. The Fotodiox lens cap sold by Amazon would be a good choice.

Costumer Review Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Zoom Lens
By :WILLIAM MCLEAN (Medford, OR USA)

OMG I purchased this Canon Telephoto Zoom lens on e-Bay new for $199.00 ("Buy it Now"). It arrived today. This is one light weight and incredibly sharp lens. Also, the image colors are vivid and true. With the IMAGE STABILIZER engaged I can get super sharp images at 250mm, with lens wide open, and the shutter speed at 1/30th of a second. And I'm a 71 year old man.

I'm crazy about Amazon.com. They are really reliable, their merchandise is usually competitively priced, and I like their return policy. But I do shop.

SPECIAL NOTE; Another reviewer writes that using the Canon 58mm Canon Telephoto Zoom lens tread diameter 250D Closeup Filter (under $100.00), this same zoom lens becomes a fantastically sharp macro lens. I'm going to go for it next month - after my Social Security Check comes in. And yes, I will check the price on Amazon.com first.

Product Review Rokinon FE8M-C 8mm F3.5 Fisheye Lens for Canon
By :G. Cerpa "cerpa" (Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico)

Well what can I tell you, this lens is awesome, I've testes it and let me tell you some of the results I noticed:

- The amount of flare (even pointing the lens towards the sun) is minimal, it really surprised me in a very positive way.
- It doesn't darkens the corners or produce vignetting effect AT ALL!
- The quality in the final pictures is superb, the pictures are crisp sharp even in the edges!
- Unlinke the peleng lens, the rokinon does fill the entire frame of the picture with no empty corners.
- It does not have the annoying lock ring of the peleng.
- When you handle the lens it feels great, the build quality is great and the rubber grip in the focus ring is awesome, its heaviness makes it feel like a solid rock and well built pice of glass; and, unlike the peleng, it does look modern!
- The colors look nice and saturated in the final pictures.

I loved this one, and I can truely say that this lens will exceed your expectations, the best bang for the buck!

Note for the buyers: this lens is also sold under other brands such as: opteka, samyang, falcon; but it's the same glass

Discussing Nikkor 10.5 Fisheye Lens




Nikkor 10.5 fisheye lens became a favorite with many photographers because it produces dramatic images with different perspectives, the result of sharp images, colors and remarkable contrast. Body light and very compact, weighing 10.7 ounces, length 2.5 ", the advantage of this lens you can easily take it everywhere.

But before you decide to buy a Nikkor 10.5 fisheye lens is that you need to know is the Nikkor 10.5 fisheye lens does not have an inbuilt focus motor, so if you do not have a camera body features a built-in focus motor then you have to use manual focus .


The Nikkor 10.5 fisheye is excellent for taking photos in low light conditions because it is fast f/2.8 maximum aperture. If you have a steady hand, you easily can take handheld pictures at 1/10th of a second. Amazing lens for the photographer who really like shooting in low light conditions without using a tripod.
