EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens Hood

[DaNi3L]

Thinking of getting the Lens Hood ES-62 with adapter ring for 50mm 1.8 II, but havent seen it around. MS Color also told me they dun have. Wonder if anyone's actually seen it being sold around SG?

any chance they come with different thread size? Thinking of changing my lens hood as it cumbersome to carry around.

Ok, now that u guys got me interested. TCW sells the rubber hood too?

Hey man, actually you dun really need a lens hood for this lens lah. The front element is so recessed that its really hard for flare to occur.

 

[denniskee]

not so sure about the not needing the lens hood. but i must agree, the front element is deep in.

read from a web site regarding DIY hood, aside from wide angle, from 50mm up in tele direction, inorder for lens hood to be effective, is has to be same length as its focal lens.

i have both, the canon one and the rubber hood, ever since i bought the $5 rubber hood, the canon hood sit in the cupboard.

the rubber hood allows easy adjustment of CP.

try adjusting the CP when a canon hood is used. dam diff i tell you.

whats the adaptor ring used for?

 

[kross]

where to buy the rubber hood?

I think its becos the thread is slightly inside of the lens body, so the adapter will allow the hood to start from the actual diameter of the body rather than slightly recessed.

Yeah, no one mentioned where to get rubber hood.

I think CP or TCW sells rubber hoods...

most major photo shop sells it, for a 49-52mm rubber hood, should be around $5, 58mm rubber hood around $8.
