NinetyEight "Banned for life"  More info | Jan 03, 2009 14:34 | #2 Canon hoods are one of the most overpriced pieces of plastic I know of, but they usually fit properly (except for the 85mm f/1.8 hood) and do the job as intended. However for that price its got to be worth a go surely Kev

I would do it again. All fit very well. They don't have the felt liner but, so far, it hasn't presented a problem. Bohdan - I may be, and probably am, completely wrong.

Many are screw on metal hoods. Many I got from HeavyStar on eBay. They are just fine. I have never seen the lack of a lining in a hood make a difference - other than attracting lint. GEAR LIST
