Canon 35/2 question?

[Bill wrs1145]

I've got a Canon 35/2 LTM lens and wanted to know if a generic 55x20mm hood will work w/ it without any problems?

Many thanks,
Bill

The 35/2 will accept a 42mm clamp-on hood.

Canon S-42 They seem to be readily available.

My most used 35mm lens (so small!).

I have never used a hood with it but I'm in the UK and the sun does not always shine.....

They are certainly available at a cost ($$) on eBay, but I have some generic hoods and just wondered if I could use them.

I'd say try a sample shot with and without the generic hood mounted. If it works without significant vignetting, you're good.

I don't think Canon ever made a specific lens hood for this because of the recessed front element. Looking in P. Kitchingman's Canon lens book, there is no hood specifically made, although you certainly could use one.

Thanks, guys.

I discovered (to my delight) that the lens hood from my Fuji X10 works perfectly.

I used an inexpensive 40 to 40.5 step up ring from AliExpress, and then a generic wide angle screw in 40.5 hood
