Someone asked about this lens hood a few days ago here on this forum. I just saw this ad by someone on PN. The price is right. Go for it.
Gary has some nice stuff, and you are right, even at $135 that is a good deal.

Ok, so my question is...why does there seem to be an inexhuastable supply of Canon 50mm f1.2 hoods in "new" or "like new" condition?
Did someone find a container that has been misplaced since 1957?
I love this lens and the hood does look cool, but it doesn't stay on very well-as anyone who has ever grabbed their camera hood first knows.
I found that adding a filter to the lens gives the hood a little more to hold on to, but mine is still not as solid as I'd like.
Did everyone who ever bought a 50 f1.2 realize this fact? Or, is someone "remanufacturing" these hoods?
After all, they usually sell for half the price on the lens.

no reflection on the current seller.
I've just seen a suprising amount of the hoods for sale over the past few years.

Yeah, it's the same with the plastic hood clamp on OEM models for my Canonet G-III, they never seem very secure. And also tend to pivot round the clamp screw :-(
If the heavystar guy (on ebay) produced a nice equivalent Screw In vented 55mm hood, I'd buy one....
And on a similar thread, on UK eBay there seems to be a spate of the wee plastic Canon A-series hot shoe & sync. socket covers (and other bits and pieces) that orginate from India. But they are nice & do the job.

I think, the word got out that such lens hoods can bring the seller a good amount of money.
