Hi I recently bought a Canon LTM Screw 28 mm f2.8 Lens and would like to know where I can get a Lens hood, I have the Canon filter thus it has to be a push on hood and I would like a Canon one. I have checked a popular auction site but to no avail, any ideas Thanks Anth.
 
Hansa makes metal 40 mm hood rated for the Canon 35/2 not the 28/2.8
The UN-5140 is a rubber lens hood foldable screw type 40 mm

I have the Canon 28 mm f/2.8 on a IIIf, and never use a hood...
 
I used to own a Canon 28/3.5 and I never used a lens hood with it. There is no need for it.
 
Yeah, you really don't need one, given how recessed the optical elements are. That said, if you really want one, it will need to be of a fairly large diameter to work without vignetting.

Agree. Tried a random metal hood on my copy and it really created vignetting.

Like it was been stated before, you don't really need one, lens is pretty well recessed into the barrel so barrel works as hood.

What i usually do with my lenses is find a couple of old skylight filters of the same diameter and break the glass. It has always worked well for me.

Thanks for the information I never really considered the fact that the lens is recessed so far back Thanks

I do a similar thing by buying (very cheap) adapter rings (up). I once bought a set together for something like 28-34-38-40-42-48-58-62 for an adaptable lens hood.

Off topic, I know, but I bought one of these earlier in the year and so far I'm very impressed. The way the lens 'draws' is very nice indeed plus it's tiny, well built and quite light :)
 
I used the similar Canon 25mm 3.5 this weekend. You definitely need a hood if you are shooting towards bright sun. I got flare on several shots.
 
If you are shooting toward the sun or a bright light, a hood is not going to help much. If the bright light is on the frame, the hood will do nothing. And with a very wide lens like that, it's hard not to include the sun.

This is the one factor that I think new lenses have over vintage. The better coatings and light baffling and generally cleaner interior of newer modern lenses greatly reduce flare from sun and other bright sources.
