These type of lens flares occur when indirect light rays pass through the front lens elements but don't make it all the way through to the image sensor.

Useful shade
[ Posted: 2008-07-18 ]
This shade, made by Canon is much better, a better fit and more sturdy than a generic shade sold by a famous NYC store. It is well worth the price, and does not interfere with the use of filters.
Don't get it for the Canon EF 10-22mm Lens
[ Posted: 2008-06-14 ]
My mistake obviously, but I took some erroneous online advice to use it for my Canon EF 10-22 lens and it doesn't fit at all. Even if I monkeyed with it there's no way it would fit.
I still gave it 4 stars because it's a nice quality piece. Minus 1 star because they weren't clear about the size of it.
Good lens hood with one limitation

This lens hood does what it's supposed to do, but if you are using a 40D with the built in flash, it will cast a shadow on your subject at about 28mm and within roughly 7 feet.
Decent Lens Hood
[ Posted: 2008-02-01 ]
How much can you say about a lens hood? I gave it 3 stars because it's a little clumsy to put on and off. Otherwise, it does the job.
Great hood, but beware of wide angle flash shots.

I'm using the EW73B Lens Hood on my EF-S 17-85 lens with a Canon 40D and it works great for outdoor and indoor shots, but...
If you're using the built-in flash on the 40D, like I do, this hood will cast shadows on your shots when you have the lens any wider than about 28mm. Other than this one caveat, it's a great hood.
