Question 1

All of my other genuine Canon Lens Hoods have a black felt like material inside, this one is painted flat charcoal? Did they change designs?

Accepted Answer

The shades without the felt are made for the  stm lenses the felt shades. Are still made but the for the good metal mount lens not the plastic mount

Question 2

Will this fit the canon t71?

Accepted Answer

You need some knowledge, let me help.

This is not an accessory for your camera, but rather one that mounts on the end of a lens.  Specifically, it goes on the EF-S 10-18mm F4.5-5.6, which is a lens that works on the T7i.  If you do not have this lens then this would not work for you.  It is always best to match up the lens with the correct hood to get the best performance, as well as avoid issues with incompatibility.

If you would like some more info on this lens hood, the 10-18mm lens, or even just lenses in general, you should check out my profile.  I have reviews for a lot of different gear, and each review is loaded with information on the pros and cons, advice for how to use the gear, and also suggestions for other gear that might work for you but for a better price.  In the case of cameras or lenses, there are always sample images as well.  You can just click my name to check it out.  Here are some links to help you too.

Question 3

Will this fit on my sony dlsr?

Accepted Answer

Not likely. Canon lens hoods are always made specifically for dedicated Canon lenses. Most Canon lens hoods aren't even interchangeable from one Canon lens to another.

Question 4

Is there any size difference between this and the ew-73b? it also fits my 18-135 perfectly. will it not work well in the higher focal lengths?

Accepted Answer

I think this is smaller overall.  I don't suggest using anything but the intended hood for any lens, as they are engineered specifically to work with the size of the front elements as well as its shape..  The 18-135mm uses Lens Hood EW-73D.  I would recommend something cheaper than the Canon version, like a promaster.  It's all just plastic.
