Hi all
I have just got a 24mm TS-E Mk1 but unfortunately minus its lens hood.
Is it worth buying one and if so can anyone recommend a third party hood as the canon one will doubtless be overpriced
Cheers
Chris

I find the combination of the size of the hood, with the relatively little help it provides has made it end up not making it into my bag more and more often. Virtually every other lens I have I always shoot with the hood on FWIW Gear: Canon 5D III, 5D and 7D | 300 f/2.8L IS | 70-200 f/2.8L IS | 85 f/1.8 | 17-55 f/2.8 [COLOR=navy]| 24-105 f/4L | 10-22 | Zeiss 35 f/2 | TS-E 24II | Alienbees

It was sent to me by KEH when I bought my MKII and I've had no use for it. If I can find it tonight I'll let you know and you can have it. (assuming I kept it of course) VanillaImaging.com

A lens hood is what 1-3oz at the most? - Alex Corona Sony A7, Canon 7DM2/EOS M, Mamiya 645/67
