It seems like the Canon ET-65 III doesn't flip like my other lens hoods to save space in my bag.
I suppose, I may as well ask what everyone uses on their 85mm to prevent scratches.
Thanks!

I wish they would mention that in the details for the hood rather the reviews, haha. Gripped 5D3 | 17-40L, 50mm f/1.8II, 85mm f/1.8, 35-105, 100-400L IS

It's just not the bayonet mount hood that most other lenses have so it doesn't always seem to want to snap in place when it's reversed for me...sometimes it takes a couple of tries.

I ordered it and I'll play with it when it all shows up.

Glad to hear it! I just couldn't justify the 85L for ~2k. In that range, I'd prefer a 70-200 f/2.8L, at some point. Gripped 5D3 | 17-40L, 50mm f/1.8II, 85mm f/1.8, 35-105, 100-400L IS

Yes, I wish it was a bayonet mount. Let alone reversed, it sometimes doesn't like to snap on the first try for me in the usable position. Thanks for Reading & Good Luck - Jim

I wasn't able to find one for the 85. Oh well. Gripped 5D3 | 17-40L, 50mm f/1.8II, 85mm f/1.8, 35-105, 100-400L IS

I wonder what's the reason for this design, which calls for a more complicated mechanism in the hood and doesn't work as well as the common bayonet solution. It worked well on my 50 1.8. It came with an adaptor ring like a filter and it made the hood like a bayonet. I was pretty impressed with it for such an inexpensive lens.
