Hood for EF 70-210mm 3.5-4.5

[tjavery]

Does anyone know what lens hoods will fit the now discontinued Canon

EF 70-210mm 3.5-4.5 lens?

 

I Googled this and found "ET-65 II" as a match. However, this hood is

no longer sold (discontinued, I guess).

 

Will the ET-65 III hood fit? This hood will fit the 100-300mm zoom,

but I cannot find any info about it fitting the 70-210mm as well.

 

thanks,

TJ

Yes the 'ET-65 III' fits the Canon EF 70-210mm 3.5-4.5 lens. Same hood is listed for the 85 1.8, 100 2.0, 135 2.8 and the 100-300 4.5 - 5.6. Lists '$23.95 usd at B&H. I had one on my 70-210 and still have one each on the 85 and 100.

<p>The Roman numerals are irrelevant when it comes to which lenses it will fit; an ET-65 and an ET-65 II and an ET-65 III will all fit the same lenses. The differences are typically due to leaving more room inside so you can turn a circular polarizer (not likely with this hood, as it's quite deep), allowing a bit more room on the mount so it will fit over a circular polarizer's knurled ring (I think the hood for the 28-105 was changed for this many years ago), or adding dark flocking/felt to the inside of the hood to reduce reflections.</p>

The only diff between the ET 65 II and III is the III has flocking. The II sports flat black

paint. Rayon flocking is slightly less reflective and therefore better.
