How do I know what style of hood to buy for my 60D

Can will list the hood as an accessory on their lens lineup (the hood is really a lens accessory -- not a camera body accessory)

 

View the line-up of lenses here:  http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup

 

Find your lens.  While viewing that lens' information, there's a "Supplies and Accessories" link.  It will list the hood designed to fit that specific lens.

 

Be careful to make sure the details are identical.  Some lenses are easily confused.  For example, EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and the EF 24-70mm f/2.L II USM are _very_ different and do not take the same hood (so that little "II" makes a big difference.)

Hi LReehling!
Welcome to the Canon Forum, and thanks for your inquiry! So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know exactly which lenses you're using. The lens hoods can be different from one lens lens to another, and one type of hood might work better for a specific type of photography over another.  Any other details you'd like to give will only help the Community better understand your issue! Thanks and have a great day!
