Of course, all the original hoods are gone and lost somewhere in the jungle... what would be the ideal aftermarket hood for Canon's 2/35? Most of the new stock will be made for 50mm lenses and might vignette...
 
I'm using a similar type 35mm/1.8 and share your problem. Recently I bought a nice hood from Heavystar on *Bay which they advertise for Canon 35mm/2. It didn't work either. See the photo below.

The 35/1.8 and 35/2 vignette even with normal filters and no hood. The only practical solution I found when using them was to use a series push-on hood, and use series filters. Makes a tiny lens ridiculously large though.

However, both lenses have deeply recessed front elements, so in theory you can get by without hood.

That's what I intend to do. I'm not even sure if there ever was an original hood for these lenses.

Canon never issued a hood for the 35/f2.

That is correct.

There is a Japanese company by the name of Hansa that produced a 40mm screw in hood for Canon 35mm and is known to work well with the 35mm f/2.0 specifically. I do have a picture of it somewhere if I can dig it out. These hoods still pop up now and then.

flare/ vieling glare is an issue with both of these lenses (the older 35/1.8 is worse), as with ANY speed Gaussian wide angle lenses with exception of some newer multicoated designs. A hood can't help much when photographing in backlite, but maybe a little...

Und this condition, Mablo, your lens behaves very well.
 
You might want to try this: Heavystar or other 40-40.5 or 40-43 step up adapter, then the 40.5 or 43 "Wide" filter (flares outwards quicker, less conical than a "normal" hood), like the stock CV 40/1.4 hood.
 
yup, I use one

yup, I use one

permanently on one of my Canon 28/2.8s with a heavystar 40-43 adapter. CV cap fits the hood well. Even with this step up/hood combo, it's a very small depth for a 2.8 28 setup.

cameraquest has a lovely 40mm hood, metal that fits perfectly and looks great, not too big.

Canon 40mm Slimline Filters do not vignette on this lens. Standard size 40mm filters do vignette, in my experience. I prefer to use a filter and hood with this lens, so I use a Canon 42mm A Hood, marked 50mm F1.8, 35mm 2.8 and no vignetting at all. Kodak Series VI filters are plentiful, used to be sold by the pound. They fit tightly (no rattle) in this hood, or you can go with the Canon Series VI, if you are a purist. I added a Schneider LF leather lenscap, as I needed a tightly fitting lenscap to shield the meter in M5. This is a good workable well-tested combination. I have never had any successful results using adapters with this lens, just about everything vignettes in my experience.

I've used the larger rectangular vented Canon hood for 50/1.8 and 35/2.8 lenses with no problem on the 35/1.8. I don't know if the smaller rectangular hood for the 50/1.9 is OK as well. Nor can I comment on the 35/2.0, other than that Canon never made a dedicated hood for either of these lenses.
