Hi, It's totally OK to use a Heavystar lens hood with a Canon 50mm lens. The 40-40,5mm step up adaptor + a 40,5mm vented Heavystar "leica" hood is a great combo with a Canon 50mm/1.8 lens. No vignetting whatsoever. It's just the Canon 35mm lenses that vignette with a hood.

At that price I'd take the Canon 35mm 1.8 if its in good condition.
Its a great price for the lens. If it doesn't do what you want, you could sell it and easily buy a Voigtlander with what you'd get for it. Granted you may be totally happy with the CV but be curious about the Canon... and picking up the Canon 1.8 would definitely run higher than what you have lined up.
Edit: Granted, I just purchased a Canon 35mm 2.8 here today. I had been watching for a deal on a Voigtlander but the Canon at a good price came up here first and I gravitate towards lower contrast lenses anyway.

I've owned both lenses. The Canon is slower to focus, not as contrasty and does flare on occasion, but not too badly. You should buy both and decide later which one is the keeper. You won't lose any money because both lenses retain their value.
