Lens hood for 100mm macro?

[patham]

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.

Oh...my bad. I didn't even realize there was another one [:P] I will have another go at it.

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:

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]

Jan, there have been three Canon EF 100mm macro lenses:

And I have had 2 of them [A] Honestly I rarely use the lens-hood on the macro-lenses, since I use flash most of the time. And if I don't, I feel like the extension by the lens-hood is bothering me more than the theoretical loss of image-quality when not using one.


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
