Hello, manual says lens hood on 70-200 2.8L IS Mk2 is reverse mountable. In regular way it mounts flawless. But i can't do this in reverse. Can you advice how to do this? It is very annoying when lens hood stays at home for this reason.

Mine reverses exactly as you would expect....it's no tighter and doesn't require any tricks. 1Dx2 (2), 5DSR, 1Ds3, 1D4, 5D2(590nm), 5D2(720nm) EF600 EF400 EF300-II EF300 EF200 EF200-II EF180L EF135L EF100 EF85-II EF50L TS-E17/4 TS-E24L-II TS-E45 TS-E90 MP-E65 EF70-200-II EF24-70/2.8-II EF16-35/4 EF8-15/4 EF11-24/4 Zeiss 15/2.8 21/2.8 25/2 28/2 35/1.4 35/2 50/2 85/1.4 100/2 135/2 T/C's L-SC & a WIFE!
