Do Canon lenses come with lens hood?
Do Lenses Come With a Lens Hood or Do I Need to Buy One? Some lenses come with the hood, and others do not. Canon generally provides a lens hood for the L series (professional) lenses, but not for the consumer level lenses.
What type of lens hood do I need?
A Cylindrical Lens Hood will generally work well and gets the job done. This type of lens hood is often used with a prime or telephoto lens and will completely block stray light. Even more popular are Petal Lens Hoods (sometimes called a Tulip Lens Hood). These are shorter lens hoods that have curved notches.

- 1 Align the red dots on the hood and lens edges.
