Is the S-60 the "correct" hood for the Canon 50/1.4? The lens has a 48mm filter thread. I can't remember....my mind is getting old.

The S-50 is the correct hood; the S-60 would fit something with 58mm threads.
rule-of-thumb, thread size+2 usually is the slip on size. Except crazy Kodak for Retina; they called there screw in filter a "32" when the thread size was 29.5mm. They stuck to the slip-on size for everything.
Now if you had asked about Nikon SLR hoods, I would have pulled the Big-Book-of-Nikon. HN-4 vs HS-4. African or European swallow.

I have to buy the Canon Compendium so I can keep their stuff straight.

rover, i sometimes use kevincameras as a resource for hoods and such.
it is the s 50 for sure as a hood but hoya also make a very nice hood, screw in, in 48mm that works great.
i got a new one with a canonet 17 at the local photo fair for 15 bucks cdn.

S-50 clamp on hood. 48mm filter thread at 1.4/50 Canon RF.
Hoods often get mixed with early SLR lens stuff.
A good overview about hoods is the table here: http://www.cameraquest.com/crflen.htm

Frank, thanks for the link to the Cameraquest table. You know, somewhere in my mind I knew that table exhisted, but that info was archived too long ago for me to remember it.

..Dunno what sources S.Gandy has had... some call the W-60 hood for the 1.5/35, or believe in two different hoods for 1.8/85 and 2/100. Never read something from CANON about it.
