Canon 10-22 Hood

Nazbit · 2 Jul 2007 at 12:54

Hi all,

Obviously canon dont ship hoods with non L lenses and I never bothered to invest in one when I bought the EF-s 10 - 22mm.

So which hood do I need? I beleive its the same hood used on the 17 - 40 L, but I could do with a model number. I've done some looking around but im getting conflicting advice from photography sites and ebay listings.

Cheers

Thanks,

Does anyone have any idea about deals/prices, most seem to be £15 + delivery.

Ive seen cheaper but I dont think they are genuine canon hoods.

I got a £12 one for my 70-300 USM IS off the bay, for a piece of plastic really doesn't matter if your not getting genuine tbh

Does yours have the black flock lining?

All the Canon hoods I've had my hands on (which isn't all, by any means) have a black flock lining to stop light bouncing around the inside of the hood. A lot of the cheaper ones are just matt black plastic which doesn't absorb the light as well.

Yer the hood for my 24-105 has a lining like that, it helps to trap dust and other crap particles as well which can be helpfull, I think I will go for the proper canon one.

£20 is only the same as buying a filter I suppose.

Wish I knew that before ordering from HK :rolleyes:

Oh well, nevermind
