Hi,

I'm new to the canon forum and indeed the lenses so go easy if this is an obvious question! I bought a 35/1.8 at the end of last year to shoot on a Leica M and it seems to be a great little lens. I have been looking on the auction site for the correct hood for it but nothing comes up. I picked up a 42mmA 50/1.8 35/2.8 hood the other day and as yet haven't seen any results to check for vignetting. I was just wondering if there was indeed a hood made for the lens and how is it identified? Does it indeed need a hood or is it Ok without? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks, Simon.
 
I don't think a hood was ever made. It doesn't need one either since the front element is deeply recessed.

It vignettes pretty much with everything you put in front of it, except the original thin Canon 40mm filters.

The only thing I found worked OK was a 40-43mm step-up adapter.

Best,

Roland.

Hi,
I am also new to the forum. The 35/1.8 does not require a hood because of the front element inset. To my knowledge there is no dedicated hood. Having said that, I often use the 42mm hood marked for the 50/1.8 and 35/2.8 on my 35/1.8. It works fine. They are often available on eBay. I believe that one is listed currently.

Cheers,
Greg
 
I got the one that Stephen sells, but indeed, it vignettes. It's really hard to find 40mm filters for this lens, too. I have a UV filter I got on eBay manufactured by, of all companies, Toshiba, and I use this for lens protection.
 
The rectangular Canon hood for 50/1.8 and 35/2.8 works fine on the 35/1.8. But, as noted, a hood really isn't necessary due to the deeply recessed front element.
 
Your choice is limited to original Canon 40mm Slimline filters. I get vignetting with every other thing I've ever tried. The Canon slimline works fine with the 35/50 Shade, even at F22. It's more prone to vignette when stopped down fully. Also closer up, the image circle is a bit bigger.

I believe the German company WALZ made slimline 40mm filters for this lens, but I'm not familar, just been told they should work.

Yes, I agree, the Canon 40mm thin rim filters are a must. They are very hard to find and a bit costly when they do show up. it has taken me several years to accumulate a few of them.

I use most of the time a squarish chrome Franka push-on lens hood with the Canon 35mm/1.8. Sometimes, I use a Canon clamp-on lens hood. Both types of lens hoods work well on this lens. I have several 40mm filters that I have still to use.
