Canon Hood

The elusive 'wide' rectangular hood: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=30027&item=7507049303&rd=1

looks alot like the one for the 50/1.9 - which i sold too soon i fear!

I bet it is the same hood, they just changed the type when they discontinued the 1.9 lens.

It's not quite the same-it's wider and probably doesn't vignette on the later 35's. It also looks a little shallower.

It also went for crazy money, I suspect because it has unusual engraving on it. The top four bidders are all known Canon collectors.

The last few sure didn't go for that sort of money...

last time i saw the SAME hood without case went for only 40 dollars or so on that bay a few months before

the ending price of this auction seems crazy

I got one on eBay no more than two months ago for about $25 (no case). I remember one going for between $35 and $40 dollars last year; my high bid then was in the low $30s, which I thought was plenty high enough.

cheers,

Yes, same as the one that just went for a load:

Canon
Series VI
Canon Lens
50mm f1.8
35mm f2.8, 35mm f3.2

I won the auction in early March or so.

I got mine in 2003 for $29.99 (no case) and $26.00 (with case) on eBay.

But one went for $70 that year along with 5 Walz series VI filters.

Remember that not only the number of rows of engraving counts, but the relative order of the speed and focal length for each lens counts.
