I know Canon's replacement hoods for L lenses are expensive, but really now!

Think it just might be a typo?

Yes, the lens hood is expensive but at least you get a free 24mm lens with it. :)


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Not really. That's the listing for a replacement hood. The Canon USA Store doesn't sell lenses.

That is a typo, but here is a hood that is actually $840 in the Canon e-store

I dropped a $50 hood from my 24L into an inlet and I thought that was a pisser... I'd be swimming after the $840 one.

might as well buy a new lens...

note to self, never drop my hood.

I've seen photog's use tape to tape their hoods while shooting, with gafers tape I suppose.

$840 for an out of focus hood, that's crazy.

I can see why the pros tape them up - they don't want to replace them too often :lol:

my second hand 400L came with a broken hood, the screw has snapped off.
I'm very happy to tape it up instead of paying £300+ for a replacement!
