I saw deals on amazon with a hood for it, is it work getting it or just lens by it's self, since so flat you don't need a hood?

With the hood i believe it defeats the purpose of a Pankcake lens.... But that's only my view.... if you buy the lens it's your lens, do as you please.... but i'll say this... this little bad boy is amazing! -David T.

That's what I was thinking...I'm a HUGE fan of hoods in general (the one on my 16-35L II literally has never been off since I've owned the lens), but I'm buying the Shorty40 because I want a small/inconspicuous lens. The hood would defeat both purposes...plus, from everything I've seen you can try as you might and this lens won't flare, so optically, there's no advantage to the hood. -=Prints For Sale at PIXELS=-

msowsun "approx 8mm"  More info | Jun 29, 2012 16:42 | #829 Besides lens shading and reducing flare, I use hoods to protect the lens. The tiny hood on the EF 40mm isn't going to provide much shading, and because it is threaded into the front element, I wonder how the STM AF would react to a direct impact with the hood installed.

Yeah, plus the lens seems to be incredibly flare-resistant, so a hood seems to have very little benefits. -=Prints For Sale at PIXELS=-
