As a bonus, I use that same hood for my 50 1.8 MK1. Never had a problem with it coming off while in use. Not sure if it would also work for the 50 1.8 MK2. 1D MKIII | FujiFilm X10 | 24-70 f/2.8 | 70-200 f/2.8 | 135 f/2 | 85 f/1.8 | 580EX |

You can upgrade to the L hood, but it costs $125.

All my others are bayonet mount - I have to think about putting on the 85's hood. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

EORI Senior Member  More info | May 03, 2007 14:31 | #5 I had the same reaction recently. The bayonet seems much faster and sure to put on and take off. The only alternative that I've found are those that screw on to the filter mount:

OK, looks like I will just have to get used to it....me no like change! It's worth the minor annoyance. The 85mm f/1.8 is one special lens.

Iowa, USA. More info | May 03, 2007 21:44 | #15 The 85 is a great lens, but I agree the hood has to be one of canons major mistakes. Close behind their lens filters, tripods, monopods, and bags. The hood comes off almost as easily as it goes on so do not count on it for any protection in case of a bump, etc... Doc Klepper in the USA
