70-200 4.0 L IS Flower hood

eskil_hess · May 8, 2013

Hi everyone.

Just one quick question, does anyone own a flower hood(like the 70-200 2.8 hood) on their 4.0? Have anyone actually tried the JJC lens hoods? I see they sell this one, which looks like the 2.8 hood.

Originally I got one similar... Don't see the point though. After all, on a 1.6 crop factor body the lens corresponds closer to a 100-300mm Zoom. No flower hood necessary. To protect lens and filter I prefer a classic hard rubber telescopic model from HOYA.

It's a piece of plastic. Not sure how it couldn't work. Not exactly high technology.

Petal style hoods are never necessary, they are just more efficient (assuming proper dimensions)

eskil_hess · May 8, 2013

That is not true.. If the Quality is bad, then it probably will fit bad.. It probably will be wobly.

If the inside material is bad, then it can reflect light.

If the "holes" are too big, then it will be sunflare

Wolf: i got ff, and 70-200L is a ff Lens :-)

mark_pierlot · May 8, 2013

I have JJC hoods for a couple of my other lenses, and they're fine. But I use the non-petaled OEM hood on my 70-200/4 L IS.

eskil_hess · May 8, 2013

Fine, or as good as Canon ?

paddler4 · May 8, 2013

Petaled hoods are used to avoid vignetting in the corners. Without the petal shape, the hood would have to be short enough in all directions to accommodate the shortest focal length. This is completely unnecessary with a 70-200 f/4--it will take a nice long standard hood, almost 8 cm long. Using a petaled hood that is shorter than that at its shortest point will simply protect less against flare.

So

will actually create more flare than the original ET-74?

Not really, the inside that counts is as black as the original. I got a "white" one for my 100-400mm and it works just fine and makes the whole rig look even more like an RPG launcher, if that's what you're after.

eskil_hess · May 8, 2013

So how is it compared to the original?

stp · May 8, 2013

Just what people need to think I'm doing -- carrying around an RPG launcher.

If you are shooting in a warzone than that is a valid concern. I saw an apache video from Iraq in which the pilot literally mistook a pair of AP photogs for insurgents carrying RPGs They looked like they were 'shooting' w/ 70-200/2.8s w/ hoods on to me (though the video was a bit grainy - and from an apache). The AP photogs did not survive the interaction with 30mm anti-tank rounds. It would be humorous if it wasn't real.

I was unsure of what an RGP is So did a search

I'm still none the wiser?

Rocket-propelled grenade launcher

I think you would need a 500/600/800 mm to even vaguely approximate such a thing.

dcstep · May 10, 2013

Why search RGP when everyone is talking about RPGs?

I would have thought so to...since most are about 4' long. plus, most RPGs come in one or two colors, OD green and maybe black. White and black stripes aren't a common RPG paint scheme. L love was readily apparent to me.

And now you know why...

Just last weekend, shooting near my local airport, I had a police officer suggest that my Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 OS (with 2x TC) looked something like a rocket launcher from a distance.

Probably didn't help myself that I use a Realtree camo neoprene lens cover set on the lens!
