Q. I have a [Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS lens] & a [Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4.5-5 IS lens]. I need to get hoods for both, but I don't want to pay $40-50 or $20-30, respectively..... any way to get the real deal for cheaper? (I mean, I could use that money for gas...) :P
Answer
You can always check to see if you can find them used at B&H, Adorama, KEH, etc. eBay might be a good place to look. But you probably won't find them much cheaper.
A lens hood is a good investment... I mean if you really need the gas money, cut down on driving. Lens hoods do so much more than blocking glare. If you get the Canon ones, the hard plastic also protects your lens. In fact, I would go as far as to say they are much more effective at protecting your lens than any UV or Protector Filter. That's why I don't recommend the rubber lens hoods. The rubber ones are cheaper and can be effective at reducing glare, but the do nothing for protecting your lens. There have been a couple of times a lens has fallen out of a bag and landed on its front with decent impact. If the lens hood wasn't attached, I probably would be on my third 24-70mm 2.8L instead of my first.

canon lens picking help!?
curious ge
i'm buying a Canon Rebel XS shortly (not a XSi cause the difference is to small for an extra $150 I'd rather use that money to buy a lens) so I am obviously going to buy the camera with the 18-55mm lens cause its basic and simple, but i would kinda like to get another lens. i can't decide though 75-300mm or 55-250mm? its a 100 dollar difference and the 55-250 seems better, i will most likely be using this to get a fewww action shots, like horseback riders jumping or maybe a few soccer shots for school games (i would be close in the stands not super far). now it seems that the 55-250 has a better image stabilization but i still can't decide because sams club has a deal where you can get the canon rebel xs with a 18-55mm and a 75-300mm with a canon rebel gadget bag all for only $750!! but is the 75-300mm really worth it?
I really need a case and the 18-55mm right when i get my camera but i am willing to wait on another lens, so should i get the camera&55 that it comes with and buy a bag all for about 600? and then buy the lens later or what? any opinions on the 300mm and 250mm lens would be awesomeeeee!
