Y a $2 lens hood (what it cost to make, not what they sell it for) should be thrown in!

I think that Canon use the hood & pouch / case with the L series lenses as a differentiator, so it is less about the price, and more about the perceived differences between standard and L lenses.

I generally just get a JJC clone hood - they are a LOT cheaper than Canon, and fit snugly (unlike some of the even cheaper clones). It is difficult with a brand new lens that clones are not available for though.
