Canon EW-78D Lens Hood

The Canon 4677A001 is a petal shaped lens hood built specifically for Canon EF 28-200mm USM and EF-S 18-200mm lenses. It delivers two essential benefits in one compact accessory: improved image quality and reliable front-element protection.

By extending beyond the lens barrel, the hood blocks stray light that would otherwise strike the glass at sharp angles. This reduction in flare preserves contrast and color accuracy when you shoot landscapes under harsh midday sun, city streets filled with reflective surfaces, or portraits lit by off-camera flashes.

Protection is equally important. The hood forms a first line of defense against bumps, drizzle, wind-blown dust, and other common hazards. Photographers who travel, cover outdoor events, or work in fast-moving environments can keep their lens safer without adding significant weight.

The molded construction feels solid yet remains light enough for everyday use. Attachment is straightforward: align the hood with the lens bayonet mount, twist until it locks, and start shooting. Because it is an original Canon part, the fit is exact and vignetting is avoided throughout the zoom range.
