Title: Canon 24-105L hood
Post by: Greg D on October 27, 2008, 02:11:44 pm

I use a Canon 24-105L on a 450D (Rebel XSi).  The hood (obviously optimized for 24mm) is pretty ineffective.  A slightly deeper one would probably not cause vignetting problems at most focal lengths on this camera, I suppose.  Anyone know of a model that would work?
Thanks

Thanks for that, looks great.  I think I need something a bit more durable than that, but this gives me an idea - cut one out of neoprene.....hmmm......

Rubber also works well.

As I recall you should be able to use just about any EW-83 series hood on that lens.  I doubt that any of them will vignette on a 1.6x crop body.  I currently have an EW-83J on mine, and it doesn't appear to vignette noticeably even on the FF 1DsMkII.  Canon seems to be very conservative in their lens hood designs.

 Thanks.  Tried one of those and it seems to work fine.
