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?

My gear: Canon 500D, 17-55mm F/2.8 IS, 70-200 F/4L IS, 100mm F/2.8 macro (non-USM), 50mm F/1.4
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.

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 []
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.
