Product Information
Full details
The Canon EW-60F Lens Hood is an essential accessory for photographers using the Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens who want to improve image quality by minimizing glare and stray light. It serves as a dual-purpose tool, enhancing contrast in challenging lighting conditions while providing a physical barrier against accidental impact to the front lens element; however, users should note that this specific model is exclusively compatible with the EF-M 18-150mm lens and cannot be used with other optics.

FAQs
Will this hood fit other EF-M lenses?
No, the EW-60F is specifically designed for the geometry of the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens.
Can I attach a lens filter while the hood is on?
Yes, standard circular filters can be attached to the lens thread; however, you may need to remove the hood to adjust a variable ND or polarizer filter.
Is it possible to store the hood on the lens when not in use?
Yes, most users prefer to mount the hood in the reverse position (facing backward toward the camera body) for compact storage.
What is the material of the lens hood?
The EW-60F is constructed from high-quality, impact-resistant plastic designed for durability and low weight.
Does the hood help with lens flare?
Yes, by physically blocking light rays that enter at oblique angles, it effectively reduces ghosting and flare.
Troubleshooting
The hood appears in the corners of my image (vignetting).
Ensure the hood is rotated fully until it clicks into the locked position. If it is only partially attached, it will block the lens view.
The hood feels loose or rattles.
Check the mounting bayonet for any grit or debris and wipe clean. If the bayonet clips appear worn, inspect for hairline fractures.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly improves contrast in bright outdoor lighting
- Provides reliable physical protection for the lens front element
- Lightweight design adds minimal bulk to your camera setup
- Simple attachment process for quick installation
Cons
- Compatible only with the EF-M 18-150mm lens
- Increases the overall length of the lens slightly when attached
- Can be difficult to access lens filters when the hood is mounted in the reverse position
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the EW-60F, align the indicator mark on the hood with the dot on the lens and twist clockwise until it locks securely. Ensure that the hood is fully locked to prevent it from rotating into your field of view.
Compatibility: This model (1379C001) is strictly for the Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the interior of the hood with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent dust from transferring to the lens glass.
- If the hood becomes stiff to attach, lightly wipe the bayonet mount area with a dry cloth to clear debris.
- Avoid storing the hood under heavy equipment to prevent cracking the durable plastic housing.
