Canon 9446A001

Overview

The Canon 9446A001 is a lens hood designed specifically for the EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM zoom lens. Its main function is to block stray light from hitting the front element of the lens, which helps maintain image contrast and prevents the washed-out effect caused by bright light sources just outside the frame. This makes it especially useful for shooting in bright outdoor conditions such as midday travel scenes, wildlife near reflective water, or sports events under strong stadium lighting.

Shaped with a petal design, the hood maximizes shading while avoiding interference with the image area. Its lightweight construction keeps the overall size manageable, allowing photographers to keep it attached or pack it away without adding noticeable bulk. Beyond improving image quality, it also protects the lens from dust, light rain, and minor bumps encountered during active shooting.

Key features

• Petal-shaped design that effectively blocks stray light to reduce lens flare and preserve contrast
• Lightweight build that supports all-day use without adding significant weight or bulk
• Provides a protective barrier against dust, light rain, and accidental impacts to the front lens element
• Secure bayonet mount allows quick and reliable attachment or removal with a simple twist
• Maintains full access to filters and zoom range without interference when attached

Installation and setup

Attaching the hood is straightforward thanks to the bayonet mount system. It locks firmly into place with a simple twist, ensuring it stays secure during use. Once installed, the hood does not interfere with zooming or filter adjustments, allowing seamless operation throughout your shoot.

Ideal uses and environments

This lens hood is well suited for photographers working outdoors in bright or challenging lighting conditions. It helps maintain image quality when shooting landscapes, wildlife, travel scenes, or sports events where stray light can degrade photos. Its protective qualities also make it a practical choice for active shooting environments where the lens may be exposed to dust, moisture, or minor impacts.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
