Has anyone ever been able to find a definitive list of Canon rangefinder lens hoods and which lenses they are for? I have recently run into a S50 which is for a 50mm/F1.4. Has anyone ever seen a S-50-2 and which lens is it for? Also, the T-60 lens hood is much rarer than a whole lot of T60-2 lens hoods, and truly is
there a difference as they appear to be identical? I know the T-60 is for the 85/1.8, but what's the dif with the T-60-2? There may be more but I'm wondering
why the -2 after the standard S and Tele T?

If you're on Facebook, check out the Canon Historical Society group. Peter Kitchingman is there and has posted all kind of info on Canon rangefinder hoods and other miscellaneous Canon stuff.

I am and also have his Canon RF Lens book, but still haven't found which the -2 lens hoods are for?
Thanks,

A pic of two versions of the T-60-2 and a hood marked for the 200mm mirror-box lens and 100mm f2. These lens hoods are all the same size. I also have another hood marked for the 100mm f2 that looks exactly like these three, except for markings. All of these hoods fit the 85mm f1.8, too.
T-42 and S-42 lens hoods. The S-42 is the common hood for the 50mm f1.8. While not marked, the T-42 fits on the 100mm f3.5 lens.
I think that your supposition about standard and tele may be right. The Canon W-50 hood fits the 35mm f1.5, so may represent wide.
If anyone knows for sure it is Peter K.

I have a T-50-2 and I use it on my 50mm f1.4 LTM lens. I prefer it over the S-50 since it shades the lens a little better.
I dont know if there was ever a S-50-2 made. Yeah, the distinction of some of the labels are weird and dont make a lot of sense.
kevincameras.com is also a good reference for early hoods.

Thanks for the replies and photos. I have attached a couple of my Canon lens hood images and there is a difference between the S-50, T-50, and T50-2 as far as the length of the hood portion. The S (Standard) version is for the50/1.4, the T(Tele) versions of the 50 are (?), maybe 85/1.9 or the 100/F3.5 in the FL configuration, as the late RF 100/3.5 is T-42, or smaller, for the first generations. Also, Canon couldn't decide if they should be screw in or clamp on for the 135/3.5's?
I'm also wondering if the configurations using the (-2) were designed for the Canonmatic or FL lenses which followed, as they are very similar to the RF versions, especially the 85/1.8, 100/F2, or the 200/3.5?
In Peter K's book, there are listed various hoods for various generations of lenses but I don't find any reference to the (-2) versions of these same lens hoods? It just seems like a lot of different lens hoods manufactured for what reason ???.
