Yes, this has to do with photography. I was just wondering what people think about buying non OEM accesories for their cameras. I shoot with an XTi, and I was looking at stuff like remote triggers, extra batteries, battery grips, lens hoods, etc. I bought one accesory for my 18-55 from eBay before, it was a hood, and it has worked fine so far, has the non-reflective texture on the inside of it, fits great, and looks to be the same size and shape as the Canon one.

I was just wondering if anyone else here buys accesories like those from eBay and is happy with them, I understand some things its best to spend more money on like waterproof cases, but I just want to get some opinions before I have to buy something twice.
