Canon EW-83J Lens Hood

The Canon 1244B001 is a dedicated lens hood for the Canon EF-S 17-55 mm f/2.8 IS USM lens, created to help photographers preserve image quality and safeguard their equipment in the field.

By extending past the front element, it blocks stray light that would otherwise wash out colors or introduce flare, so contrast stays rich and details remain sharp. Whether you are capturing backlit portraits, midday landscapes, or interiors with mixed lighting, the hood keeps unwanted glare under control and helps your lens deliver its full optical potential.

Outdoor shooters will appreciate the additional layer of protection it provides. The hood’s build feels light in the hand yet stands up to travel, daily shoots, and the occasional bump when navigating crowded streets or rugged trails. The bayonet mount matches the lens precisely, so installation is fast, secure, and free of play—no fiddling required when you need to work quickly.

From wedding photographers chasing golden-hour light to hobbyists documenting family vacations, anyone who relies on the EF-S 17-55 mm f/2.8 IS USM can benefit from having this hood attached. It is a small, reliable accessory that makes a clear difference in both image quality and lens longevity.
