Canon 50mm f1.2 ltm Hoods?

[filmtwit]

What are my options concerning a hood for this big old lens?

A 57mm clamp on hood will work, and a Yashica Electro 35 hood...

Canon makes a clamp-on dedicated hood for the Canon RF 50/1.2. They do show up on ebay now and then, but are pretty pricey.

You can screw in a short "wide" 55mm hood from Heavystar and it will work & not vignette. I have an old cylindrical Ednalite 55mm hood that mechanically vignettes when stopped down past f/5.6-8. I use the lens mostly wide open so I never noticed it. Since then I've gotten the OEM Canon clamp-on hood and it's awesome.
