Lens Hood help...

[Sicily1918]

OK, so I was about to order the EW83E lens hood for my 10-22mm, only to find out that it's not available... even from Canon.

Now, this angers me :evil:, as their lens is fairly new.

My question: there's an EW83F hood -- would this be the same, only upgraded (like the 75-300 USM III or 50mm f/1.8 II lenses)? I'm not familiar with the Canon lens hood terminology.

You can make your own lens hood out of one of those bright orange traffic cones that roadworks people leave lying around the place... ;)

I do believe in having a hood for each lens. I got my hood for the 10-22 on eBay for $20. EW-83. Works fine.

Seems to be available at the internet shop I use in the UK www.warehouseexpress.com (http://www.warehouseexpress.com/). Try a few more shops in the US, I'm sure you'll find somewhere!

I got mine on eBay from a "chinese" site (located in NYC) for a cheap price. It's not Canon branded but it is a verbatim copy of the original, and built as well as any Canon.

A pity I flushed my email inbox since then so I can't give you their coordinates.

Incidentally, the 10-22 is not at all prone to flare and to say the truth this hood sits deep down in my bag most of the time... :rolleyes:

I've written that guy e-mail urging him to suggest to the company that they make hoods 1.6x longer to fit Canon APS-C format DSLRs.

I told him a lot of photographers would be interested, and he'd have that market cornered. Now, if everyone sent him e-mail to the same effect...

Why do you think you need a larger lens hood for a smaller sensor? I'm not an expert, but I don't see why you need any lens hood other than the standard one, neither larger nor smaller.

I think what RDKirk is getting at is that hoods are designed for full frame cameras, made large enough to be useful in reducing flare, but small enough to avoid vignetting.
A bigger than standard hood (read better shading) can be used on less than full frame without vignetting.

cheers. (still out looking for orange cones for my 16-35.... ;-) )

That sounds reasonable joeseph :)
