Hi Dennis, thanks for the info...do you have the pictures of the two types of hood ? I would like to have a look before thankss

49mm screw on metal hood

1) metal, can last.
2) more secure.
3) can use 55mm lens cap on the hood, so save the battery.


original plastic hood
.
1) plastic, so not sure if will last.
2) comes off easily.
3) need to use the original hood, but very difficult to remove for shooting.

hope u get the right one, cause the last time i was there, i only saw one hood that is similar to the one i have but bigger in size, it is for the canonet ql17 glll's bigger brother.

I went there and she gave me this plastic 49mm one.. she told me it is the original one and it has the words 'Canon Made in Japan Canonet Junior Hood' any idea if this is the right one?
