Hi,
I've been wondering, as I can't seem to hunt the information down as to what lens hood the 100mm macro - the old non-USM version (link) - uses. Anyone know?

It's in the review. The ET-67. Good luck!

Jan,
The only review I could find on this site was for the USM version of the lens. I have the non- USM version, the one that extends when focusing.

There was no dedicated hood available for that lens. If you look closely at a [url="http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/EF-lenses/EF100mmf28MACRO/EF100mmf28MACRO_A.jpg]larger image of the lens[/url], you can see that there is no bayonet mount at the front of the lens to accept a hood. It has 52mm filter threads, so you might be able to get a 52mm screw-in hood that would work. However, the lens has a recessed front element, which supposedly eliminates the need for a lens hood.

Jan, there have been three Canon EF 100mm macro lenses:
[list][*]EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro -original version (non-USM), released in 1990 and discontinued in 2000[*]EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM - released in 2000 and still available (but discontinued on some country-specific Canon websites)[*]EF 100mm f/2.8<span style="color: #ff0000;"]L Macro IS USM - released in 2010[/list]
Sorry Patham, this is what I found on another forum by a guy who was onto the same thing as you are:
"I went to a local shop and tried on a the ET-65 and it wasn't even close to fitting... in fact we discovered that the 100mm Macro non-usm doesn't even have the capability of having a bayonet lens hood. It never occurred to me, but it is what it is."
Dang, I need to refresh my pages before replying [:P]

With other uses than macro I do use the lens hood...at least most of the time [;)]
Thank you John and Jan. I guess I
Here's a52mm screw-in hoodfor telephoto lenses that would work. There are cheaper versions that are shorter, which combined with the recessed front element might be sufficient. Here are some search results.
Thanks John!
I was just thinking of screw-in as the front of the lens does have a recessed bit which while not a bayonet mount does seem like it could take a hood.
Jan, indeed I wasn

There's a good chance you could fit a clip on hood on the groove but you'd need to find one with the right size and it'd probably be wobbly because the groove is larger than the groove used for hoods.
Paul.
I hope he was thinking of the filter threads, since that's where screw-in hoods attach...
Yes, that
