Heads up: Minty Canon hood for 50 f/1.8 and 35mm f/2.8

[bennyng]

Hi guys,

Whilst looking around for Canon hood, chanced upon this minty sample. Thought I share in case someone is looking for it. Since it's a 42mm, it should also fit the Canon 35mm f/2.0 LTM mount too right?

Not related to seller in anyway. Just a heads up.

Cheers,

Thanks, I was looking for one of those for my 35! The Voigtlander one vignettes.

Just tried that hood on my 35/1.8, and at least eyeballing it though the shutter (on T) it looks like it just clears. But I think the front element is a bit larger yet in diameter on the 35/2.0, so I would definitely do test shots at f/2 and f/22 before shooting anything important with that lens/hood combo.

I use the rectangular 50/1.8 hood with my 35/1.8, no vignetting, and it doesn't block the viewfinder because it's well-vented. But I'm not sure it it's safe on the 35/2.0. But that's one of the rarer Canon hoods. (The 50/1.9 rectangular hood is much more common, but smaller.)

Mark is selling nine Canon lens hoods for $20 here at RFF.

Arrggh! He's selling loads of other hoods too! And most of them sold! Including the S-60 that I'm looking for! Oh well....

Cheers,

Thanks John! Looking through the shuter is a great tip!! I'll check out the rectangular hoods too!

I'm the buyer of this shade for my IIF2. It's in great shape and looks great on this quite rare Canon.
