Canon EW-78C Lens Hood for EF 35mm f/1.4L USM Lens

oem equipment as promised

I've been looking for my lost 35L hood for months. I finally broke down and bought this replacement. My old one showed up in a drawer days later. Update 06-09-13. I finally started using my new hood. My old hood started got loose too easily. With this hood, if it rotates enough, it shows up in the frame potentially ruining a pic. Two corners of your image will be blacked out. New one stays in place nicely.

It fits like a glove. Actually, the 35L package on Amazon already has this hood inside. But hey - it's good to have an extra in case the other one breaks! Better a hood breaks than the lens itself. The hood is a bit stiff on the head of the 35L, but with a little bit of lube/candle you can make it fit smoothly on your lens. It does its job well. As always, Canon plastic is overpriced - but who cares. It's made from Canon!

I have purchased two of these over the years but in both cases they simply do not mount well on the Canon 35mm 1.4L lens. With most Canon lens hoods you will feel a click when they are mounted correctly; with this lens there is no click, just a friction slide, and even then it does not feel secure on the lens.

After looking into a lens hood for my 28-135 canon-there are obviously a lot of choices out there. I can't say enough for the name brand. Don't try and save a buck, its worth the extra dollars to really get the benefit from using the hood. Thanks!!

I tripped on a chair at an event recently and my lens hood saved my lens but cracked in the process. I would much rather replace this than pay to have my lens repaired. Usual Canon quality.

Great product!

This hood comes with EF 35mm f/1.4 L USM lens. It is big, it is bulky and after three days of use it does not look like new anymore since it is easily scratched. In many cases there is no need for a hood, but pro still leave hood on the lens. Think of this as a bumper. In fast paced hectic situation (Party, kids, etc.) this $45.00 expensive piece of plastic will save your $1,400 lens. Filter is OK, but I've seen "all metal" lenses fall to the floor and hit it right where you will attach your filter. After the fall. Lens works just fine, glass is OK, but tread is bent, and there is no way to attach any filter. [...].

Good
