Hard to use
I'm not sure what the manufacturer means by "fits 99%" if lenses but this hood did not fit a single standard Canon lens without creating one issue or another.1. Extremely tight fit around the lens, leaving absolutely no room for the lens gears to move freely.2. Putting and removing the hood is extremely difficult, cannot be done on the fly as it's rubbery texture makes it hard to adjust.3. Material is weak, mine had a rip in it after trying to fit it on a Canon 70-200 and this is after handling it very carefully.Overall this product fails to deliver the promise by the manufacturer that its easy to use and fits lost lenses. It is very difficult ads, don't even think about using it in high speed situations. And when it's on, it's extremely difficult to adjust.

Economical, versatile and effective
I bought this hood to use on a Nikkor-W 210mm f5.6 lens on a large format view camera.It fit very well and stayed securely attached with no external support.The usual solution is a bellows-type hood with a wire frame that attaches to a beamprojecting from the front standard of the camera. By contrast. this filter is made offan-folded silicone and attaches directly to the lens.Advantages:* Collapses flat* Much more economical to buy* Opens wider* Can be used with any camera the lens/lens board will fit* Can be left on the lens if desired* Nearly indestructible: nothing to crack or rust* Soft, if you happen to run into it while ducking around your tripodDisadvantages:* Must be stretched to attach--be sure your tripod is stable or attach hood to lens beforeattaching lens to camera* Getting the hood to fold where you want it to can be a bit fiddly* Will hold a round filter--but not necessarily securely.Since I use this lens with both my 4x5" camera and my 5x7" camera,this hood was a natural choice. It collapses flat when attached,and is smaller than the lens board--so it fits right in the storage box.I also shoot miniature and medium format, mainly with Nikon lenses.Would I use this hood instead of the Nikon hood made for the lens?For a prime focus lens, probably not (the Nikon hood exactly matchesthe angle-view-of the lens, and is often has a square opening). Butfor a zoom lens, I definitely would. Zoom lenses are portable and versatile,and so is this hood. And having a good hood is especially important withzooms--which usually have many elements and groups--in order to reduceflare (including the insidious kind you can't see but that reduces contrast).Buy one of these great hoods in each size and keep them in your camerabag, and you'll never again be stuck shooting outside without a hood ona bright, sunny day.

Fits many lenses, very flexible.
See attached photos. I received my lens hoods this week and took them out for a test on March 1. The medium lens hood fits my 150-600mm with a little stretching. I think I could have pulled it further onto the lens, but I didn't see any vignetting. Next I tried it on my 100-400 and it fit much better and worked great. Third, I tried it on my 24-70 f/2.8 and it worked great with no issues. Lastly, I tried it on my 11-16 f/2.8. With this one, I had to retract some of the hood back to avoid vignetting. But, that's understandable since it is a wide-angle lens.Overall I'm very pleased that I can just put one lens hood in my camera bag and the KUVRD medium will work fine for so many lenses. I also tried it on my 70-200 f/2.8 and it works like a champ. 5 lenses and just one lens hood. That makes things much easier. No searching around for where I put the lens hood. Also, it folds up small for easy storage.NOTE: The KUVRD-small works great with my 50mm f/1.8. Just two lens hoods for every lens in your bag!

Perfect space saving lens hood!
Just what I needed.A flexible, adjustable and durable lens hood. No longer need those hard plastic hoods which take entirely too much space in my camera pack.This little beauty simply pulls over your lens like a sweater and does not affect lens threads, leaving said threads available for your lens cap, unlike the competition.Tight enough to stay on and flexible enough to install, it folds forward or backwards, in graduations, to accomodate short or long focal length lenses. Just pick the right size.Shipping was very quick, and its sold by a small company in the USA.One of my better purchases.

Didn't stay on my 2 Canon telephoto lenses
I so wanted this to work for me, I often shoot through glass in zoos etc and wanted an easy option to prevent the glare. However, both my telephoto lenses just wouldn't allow the hood to stay in place. If you pull it right down the lens you then can't retract the lens to its shortest length as the rubber is in the way, pulling it any further away from the camera results in it immediately falling off. Sadly it was returned.Lenses I tried it on are the EF100-400 Canon L and the RF 24-105 L.
