Perfect Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 55-250mm 1: 4-5.6 IS STM, STM note !!! Intended for this objective and just as suitable. This is not apparent from the article description. However, if you value genuine accessories just worth a look at the Canon website. There, all lenses are very well described and the right accessories is also provided. Let's talk. Not about the price, 2 star deduction for this is genuine nor fair here Unfortunately, the associated lens is not yet on the market, so that there are no long enough cheap replicas of GeLi. And for all the unsure whether they are to ever need a lens hood: Yes, absolutely, because visibly better pictures (my opinion / experience); placed upside down, thus saving space in the camera bag.
