hood for version 2 100/3.5 RF

[awilder]

Anyone know where I can find this hood? It's 34 mm threaded hood and also holds a series type filter inside.

Shucks, I was all excited until I realised you were looking for one and not selling!

Just keep checking ebay, I lucked out and won an auction 2 hoods, one for the 100/3.5 the other for the 135/3.5. Killed two birds with one stone.

It's relatively scarce. Really scarce is the reverse cap that goes over the 34mm Series VI adpater.

I have the Canon 34mm series VI adapter. I will just have to keep using a generic hood till I find the right one.

it's a clamp on hood and one can be found at the end of my 100/3.5.
but it's not for sale, sorry.

Joe, the hood came with both clamp-on and screw-in Series VI adapters. I've seen them both ways. My preference is the screw-in, so that one can use the reverse cap on the end of the stowed hood. Even if you don't have the screw-on reverse cap, you can at least put the 36mm lens cap over the screw-in adapter, which doesn't fly with the clamp-on one.

I expect that the clamp on ones are probably from the Canon V, VI, P and 7 era, with the later rounded cases with no finder storage. That's when all the hoods were black.

I don't think anyone would use the even earlier slip-on adapter, since it would maul the black paint on the front rim. I don't even use those on my chromed lenses.

I also use a clamp-on adapter for my rectangular hood for the 35 & 50, even though that's anachronistically modern, it came with a slip-on.
