Quick question,

Would a canon or generic canon hood work on a Tokina lens of the same size? For example, the hood for the 10-22 being used on the 12-24 Tokina? (both being 77mm?)

Just curious, thanks!

Even without mounting issues, many hoods are designed to block as much light as possible while also avoiding vignetting, and that varies from lens to lens. If you could mount it, it might work, it might vignette anyway.

Having said that, I personally like to use screw-on rubber lens hoods when I'm using a polarizer filter for the ease of use in turning the filter. I know I'm giving up some flare protection, but am willing to make that sacrifice.

The 12-24 Tokina is such a short lens that nearly any hood will cause vignetting. The original Tokina hood is a flower type that is only about an inch long and it's diameter is about 95mm at the point where it is actually covering the lens. Although I like them on long zoom lenses, a screw-on rubber filter would vignette terribly with the 12-24 lens.

Thanks for the replys.. I was asking because the seller I bought this lens from did not disclose to me if it came with a hood, but found out he has it afterall. So it is a non-issue anymore.:D

Would it still vignette on a crop body? I don't have anything as short as 12mm, but I do have the 17-40mm, and the screw-on rubber hood works fine, though I do have to be careful when at 17mm when I have the hood AND a polarizer filter on there. I know I could never do that on a FF body.
