Canon Lens Hood ET-65B for EF 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 DO IS USM Zoom Lens

A very important accessory for each lens that you own. Lens hood provides multiple benefits:

• it shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality
• in inclement weather, it helps to keep moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens
• it protects the front barrel from the accidental impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life hazzards.
