This looks like the much sought after (by some) 'wide' Canon Series VI Hood: http://cgi.ebay.ca/CANON-SERIES-VI-...7587065343QQcategoryZ4701QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Not wrong there, only the second I have seen in 9 years of dealing and looking on eBay. I have roughly worked out that it was produced for only one month between 11/52-12/52 and just before Canon placed the country of origin "Japan" onto all there items. I have called it a TYPE 3 or T3 hood, which fits the 50mm f/1.8 Serenar lenses and two of the wide angle lenses. On the back of the hood should be "Japan" not "Canon Japan". Peter K
OK, on the watch list to see how high it goes.

Not much, as MOST don't know it is rare or didn't until they read this thread. PS I have the other one so wont be bidding. Peter K
I have bought and sold these box hoods to get the 42mm slip on adaptor rings. I have one now, surely the more common one, but I will go take a look just to see.

I know what Canon camera the first bidder uses!

I recognize the bidders name too.
Just like Peter's. Whenever I see a nice Canon item that is a bit rear that I am hoping will fly under the radar, I know I have lost when Peter bids.
All is fair in ebay, it can be quite entertaining too.

At times I feal guilty being a collector and not a user but one day I hope to buy a Bessa R and use some of my lenses.....for once. The common rectangular hood is the 50mm f/1.9 /35mm f/3.5 on it. Funny all the rectangle hoods are not the same size. Some are more rectangular than others.

Well, in the end it was a bidding duel between pellix and redschnauzer, two known Canon collectors. It was won by redschnauzer for $68. Probably would have gone for more without the writing in the case...
You don't mess around when those two are bidding.

Is this the type of hood you a talking about? I have no idea how this is used. I inherited it.

Have a look at post number 2. Does it have "Japan" on the back or "Canon Japan"?

I don't see any writing anywhere except on the top. Here are a couple of more pics. What do you think? You can see all the lettering on this item.

Is the back of the hood completely open? Should it look like this?

no Canon Japan or Japan anywhere that I can see.

That's the hood that's more easily found-it's not as wide as the one above.

What about this type? I don't think it's ever been used. Not even fingerprints are on it.

That one isn't for the RF cameras. It's for the first Canon SLR's, the Canonflex models. The lens is a scarce, expensive one.
You've got an amazing collection of lovely things. I envy you, just sad they came as an inheritance. I hope you will eventually get some pleasure from using at least a portion of this fine group of equipment.

However, the R100/2 has a 58mm filter thread so this could be used instead of a T60 hood.

What lens will that hood fit? If it's the 50mm Canon f/1.8 black and chrome, I'm very, very interested. 😛
Just read the other post. Darn it. I really need a hood. Guess I'll just have to go the way of the rubber ones.

Steph, I have a secret, well not really, but sometimes I go the cheap easy way for all my lenses. The hard part of this finding a 42mm slip on Series VI adaptor ring. I have one and a Series VI hood, and Series VI filters. So, what is the easy part? The 42mm slip on filter will fit all of my 39mm filter ring Lieca lenses, it fits all Canon 40mm filter ring lenses, throw in all of the Sonnars and FSU 40.5 lenses.... That is one hood and filter set for a whole bunch of lenses. The inexpensive Kodak Chrome hood is shallow enough to use on 35mm lenses, it worked fine with the Canon 35/2. There are some hoods on ebay right now. I didn't see any 42mm slip on adaptor rings, but there is one seller with a bunch of screw on adaptor rings, he listed 40mm and 40.5 ones. Old series VI filters are cheap too. So there you go, this my one stop hood/filter stop when I want a hood to fit all the lenses in my bag.
