Canon LTM Attention Canon 1.5 LTM owners: got shade?

[Erik L]

FWIW, I found a 40-43mm step up ring at B&H, to which I attach a generic 43mm hood, for use on my Canon 50/1.5. Works just fine. I've got the authentic clamp-on hood for the 50/1.8 which is nice, but can get bumped off. The screw-in hoods work better, in my experience.

not only that but 43 filters are easier to find than the SERIES filters and the 40-series adapter (comes with the canon shade usually).

Right you are, Erik. I should have mentioned that I also use a 43mm skylight filter as part of that set-up for my 50/1.5. Very easy to find, as you say.

Thanks rover. Tried that but without success earlier.

Was specifically looking for a threaded 40mm to Series VII or a clamp 42mm to Series VII. Was thinking of buying it off another hood if other lenses are using the same adaptor.

Cheers,

My push on 42mm ring fits on the Canon lenses, Sonnars, Nikon 50/2, Summicrons Rigid and Collapsible, Jupiter 8... it is very handy.
