I was wondering if there is a "good" lens hood or a "bad" lens hood. I'm brand new to photography (just bought a T3i), and I'll be taking most of my pictures outdoors on sunny days, and I live in the desert. Is there a huge difference in the photo quality of the Canon $40 lens hood and the eBay $5 one? I'm a pretty careful person, so I'm not worried that it'll shatter if I drop it (even so, it's $5). I wonder if the brand name hoods have special materials that do the trick, and the eBay ones are shiny plastic that exacerbate the issue. I don't have a good shop near me to really have a close look, so I'm asking here first.
I also plan to spend more money on quality lenses and accessories if I find that I want to continue shooting into the distant future.
Thanks!
