Title: Canon 100mmf/2.8 Macro Lens Hood
Post by: Kit-V on August 27, 2010, 10:20:59 am

I am looking for a lens hood for my 100mm f/2.8 macro lens. The Canon hood is quite expensive, to say the least. Can anyone recommend a 3rd-party hood that fits well? This apparently seems to be the chief complaint with 3rd-party alternatives. Thank you.

Just ebay it.  It'll be so cheap it won't matter if you have to buy a few.

No problem with that. However, I have heard of some of the crappier versions fitting so loosely that they literally fell off. That's not a deal at any price.

Opted for the Canon hood at a substantial savings through Amazon.com (seller: Adorama).
