It's not deep enough, and doesn't provide effective coverage for longer focal lengths.
I'd have preferred a hood like on the Canon 24-70L (which shares the 16-45's extend as you get wider design). It wouldn't be small, but you'd get superb protection at all focal lengths. -Adam Brian Walters wrote: > Shel > > Just curious.
