Title: Doesn't really lock into place
Review: First, I have always thought the 85mm lens should come with a hood. But, alas, it didn't, so I had to buy it. My first impression was good. It's a good fit, and as good a build as any of the other Canon hoods (though I think Canon could learn a lot about caps and hoods from Nikon). I also like that it incorporates the pinches on the sides to make sure it stays on. The real problem is that it doesn't lock into place like every other hood I've ever used. It doesn't really affect the quality or anything, but it just bothers me that I can't just lock it into place and be done with it. It just spins around.But, it's a heck of a lot more convenient than Nikon's 85mm f/1.8 hood which just screws into the filter.
