Lens Hoods are one of the most important accessories for each lens you own.

A lens hood provides multiple functions:

1. Shades the lens from stray light to improve the contrast and image quality
2. In inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind from blowing debris on to the lens
3. It protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames and other real life obstacles

The Canon EW-83H lens hood (3rd party) is compatible with the following lens:

• Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
