For as long as I can remember Canon only ships a hood with L lenses.

I use a "B+W 52mm 900 Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood" hood for 3 reasons.

The hood screws into the lens barrel that moves with focus so you want to protect it and a rubber hood is better than metal and its cheap $20 at Amazon and $15 at B&H.

Probably the best idea for this lens. Thanks.
