Canon 35 mm F-2 lens

[saltyfli]

Hi folks ,I am new to this forum, I think it`s great source for information . I am a Canon guy . I shoot with a Canon P, a 7s and a 7sz. Two months I bought the 35mm f-2 to replace my 35 f-1.8. What hoods are being used on these 2 lenses? I think I read that Canon didn`t make a dedicated hood for this lense. Is there a after market hood that works better then another? Thanks for any answers on what being used out there, Saltyfli

have you checked at kevincameras for a hood?
i think, but am not sure, that i have seen hoods for 35s there.

canon made some hoods that clamp on in w/s/t wide/standard/tele that might work. obviously the w is what to look for.

so, are you keeping both of those 35 lenses or thinking about selling one?
just curious...

and welcome to the forum, always nice to have another canon guy around.

Welcome saltyfli (I used to go by "saltyfly" on a flyfishing forum a few years back, great handle)
I bought a square lens hood off ebay a few years back (made by Hama) for my Canon QL17, it attatched via a step up ring to the lens. If you find one that is close to the diameter of your filter size a step up ring may be the answer.
Good Luck!

According to the Canon camera museum the filter thread is 40mm. A step-up ring to 40.5 or 43mm should give you access to some very nice metal vented hoods made by Walz/Hoya/Kenko. These can be usually had for $15-$25 on eBay.

I'm using one of these on my Voigtlander 35mm pancake lens with no visible vignetting even at full aperture (2.5).

And welcome to another Canon user !!! A P, 7s and 7sZ no less ! Proud user of a 7 here, and also waiting for a P that left the US yesterday.

Thanks all, for your answers. I have gone the route of having a custom step up ring, 40mm to 43mm made. Boy ! Was it expensive. I searched for 2 months and could not locate a source for this size step up ring. I should get the rings anyday now in the mail. Then I will have many options on which hoods I can use. Yes , down the road I might be selling the Canon 35 mm 1.8 lens. Thanks again to all who answered my question. Saltyfli

Hi,
the 2/35 is 42mm clamp-on and 40mm filter like the 1.8 and 1.5/50
Hood: yes, the 2/35 benefits from a hood like most single coated lenses.
I tell you a secret: the round clamp-on hood dedicated for the 1.5/50 works on the 2/35. I didn't try it wide open but at 5.6 it works without shading. The front lens of the 2/35 is very small compared to the 1.5/50 and I doubt even wide open there will be any shadings.
A picture of the hood is here:

Have fun with the lens. It's one of my favorites.

Thanks Frank, the 42mm clamp on you wrote about, does it have a Canon # like S-50 or T-50? Have You ever seen a Canon S-42? Saltyfli

Hood for Canon 35/2

I bought a nice one from Cameraquest, complete with lens cap. They sell a 40mm metal screw-in hood and cap that looks and works great. Here's a link:

Hi Saltyfli
no the names like S-50, T-60 were in the 1960's. The hood says "Canon 1.5/50" and it'a a clamp on, which I prefer to the screw-in. Not so fast to put-on as the Nikkor shades, but not lo lose either...
Since there were also 1.8/50 42mm-clamp-on shades, I assume these are a bit tighter.
I didn't hear about special shades for the 2/35. The 2/35 was 6-7 years later than the 1.5/50, so a collector would't show a 2/35 with this hood. For a user it just works 🙂

cheers Frank

As I've posted before in other fora, Walz (also Kenko & Hoya) made vented screw-in hoods for many of the big RF lenses of the '50s-60s & they are my favorite hoods for actual field use. The most common ones are the 1s for the 50/1.5 Sonnar (40.5mm) & the 50/1.4 Nikkor (43mm). Less common, but still occasionally seen on eBay, is the 1 for the 50/1.8 Canon (40mm). From personal experience, I can tell you that the 40mm "For Canon 50/1.8" hood will work without vignetting on the 35/2 (adding a thick filter might change things, however).
