A wee while ago I was going to buy the 83D-II hood but then I had a think about it and decided to leave it and change my shooting style, Well today, all that changed. I was on the the pontcysyllte aquaduct today and couldn't get the shot I wanted down the valley because of the low sun causing lens flare from hell.

Does anyone have any experience with it, I don't want to shell out a load of cash on a hood if it'll not do the job as it looks very similar to the supplied hood.

I use the supplied lens hood for the very reasons CT mentioned. Would rather the hood gets knocked/scratched than the lens. What are the main difference's between the supplied hood and the one you considered buying ??
I use mine on my 20D and TBH don't notice any problems even when wide open.
