The Canon ET-63 Lens Hood blocks stray light for the EF-S 55-250mm IS STM lens. It maintains image contrast by preventing lens flare and ghosting during outdoor shoots. This 32g bayonet-mount accessory provides a physical barrier for the front glass element.
Key Features
- Stray Light Block: Bayonet mount stops off-axis light from hitting the glass. It prevents ghosting and flare in bright environments.
- Reversible Design: Plastic hood flips backward over the lens barrel. This reduces total gear volume for storage in camera bags.
- Physical Element Protection: 60mm height extension absorbs impact from accidental front-end bumps. It keeps road dust and fingerprints off the lens surface.
- Filter Compatibility: 88mm diameter maintains access to the 58mm filter thread. Lens caps and polarizers work while the hood stays attached.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Canon ET-63 lens hood reversible?
The bayonet mount allows backward attachment over the lens barrel. This configuration saves space during transport or storage.
Does ET-63 fit non-STM 55-250mm lens?
This hood only fits the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM version. Older IS and IS II models require the ET-60 hood instead.
