Lens hood for Canon EF 35mm/f2

[aa2000]

I saw the recommended lens hood for EF 35mm/f2 is Canon EW-65II. This

hood also fits Canon 28mm/f2.8 lens. To me, this looks like the EW-

65II hood is shorter than it should be for efficiently shading the

35mm lens. There is another hood, more efficient than Canon EW-65II,

and fits the EF 35mm/f2 lens?

Thank you.

Forgot to tell you: I'm using film cameras.

I have the 28mm and the front element is right at the front edge of the lense. If the front element of the 35mm is further back than the 28mm that should make up the difference in length. But then, I don't have a 35mm to check!

I use a Nikon rubber hood (I believe it's an HR-4, meant for a 50/1.8)on my Canon 35/2. Works fine, doesn't vignette, doesn't need to be unclipped and reversed to store the lens.

I believe both EW-65 hoods have the same physical dimensions; they probably differ by the II having a black rayon fitted inside to further reduce reflections. I use the deeper ES-65 hood with my 35/2; have never seen any vignetting. (FWIW, Canon recommends the ES-65 hood for the 50/1.8 mark I, though that lens is better served by the deeper ET-65 hood.)

I agree with Peter. Try to find the ES-65 hood. It will not vignette on the film. In fact, when I just looked through the viewfinder, my ET-65 didn't vignette, either, but I didn't check it on film and it's physically too long, anyway. What you may need to do, though, is sand down one side of the ES-65 in order to reverse mount it on the 35/2 and camera body, depending on the body and, supposedly, whether you find the ES-65 I or II. If you sand it down, you can reverse mount it on any camera if you orient the sanded portion toward the pentaprism.

 

The ES-65 will vignette with the 28/2.8, but only at either close focus or infinity; I can't remember which.

I have both the 28mm and 35mm lenses with the ET-65II lens hood. Both work fine with no vignetting what so ever...

 

If you are concerned about the price, you may find a generic hood. If you are concerned about the design, all I can tell you is it works with both lenses.

Oops... It should be EW-65II... Sorry about the mistake...

I use ES-65 (or whatever the 50/1.8mkI hood exactly is called) with my 35/2, 50/1.8mkI and 100/2 (although I have the correct hood for the 100/2, too). Makes life easier.

Hi,

 

I brought ET-65 III (intended for canon EF 90mm tilt/shift) and I ran several tests to see if it vignetes (close and infinity focus, wide open and stopped down). It works perfectly, no vigneting, regardless of conditions. The hood is really HUGE (bigger than the lens itself), but it shades efficiently, and even I can mount it reversed while the lens on camera.

 

Thanks to all, your advices were very usefull (that's why I love photo.net forum).

Sorry, I meant ES-65 III.
