EW-60C Lenshood is just right.

This little darling is just right for small lenses. I bought it for the Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS lens, and so far I have not had any bad results from stray light. It's inexpensive and very "worth it!" Thanks, Amazon!

I don't think it can help much. Expensive for a lens hood like this.

What else are you going to grab when you manually focus?

Pretty much everybody looking at this hood is thinking about tossing it onto a 18-55mm kit lens. Given how wide this lens goes, this shallow little thing is the best they could do. This hood clips onto the focus ring which spins when the lens is focusing. Given this, a tulip design would be maddening to use.

Honestly, probably doesn't make much of a difference in image quality. I have yet to shoot a picture without a lens hood so I'm no judge of this. That said, there are some good reasons to get it anyway...

1. The hood is what I grab onto whenever I manually focus. This is something other people forget about, but the 18-55 kit lens has a very small ring to try to grip when you manually focus. I mean, it's tiny. Since the hood rotates along with the focus ring, you can just grab the hood instead. When you're behind the viewfinder you're going to be feeling around for the focus ring anyway so having something bigger to lurch for is really handy.

2. When you put the lens down, you can just rest it front down. Because the hood makes a nice little base, you don't have to worry about it rolling away. Don't try this with the camera body attached.

3. It protects the lens from bumping into stuff and scratching. Sure you can get a UV filter, but I don't like leaving a filter on there if I don't have to. I've bumped the hood against things, while if I had done the same thing with the UV filter, then I would have had to either clean the filter or buy a new filter. Theoretically a UV filter can slightly degrade image quality, especially if you're buying one commensurate to the kit lens. Theoretically this hood raises image quality.

4. It makes the camera look cooler.

That said, it's seriously overpriced for what it is. Just call it cheap insurance and get over it. If you're looking at this, you'll probably going to buy it anyway.
