Hoods for Older Lenses

j_fox — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 05:35:08 GMT

Hi everyone,

I was hoping someone could help me verify which hoods I need for a few of my lenses. I know there are aftermarket or filter thread hoods available, but I prefer to keep everything original. Below is a list of the lenses I don't have a hood for, and the corresponding (if known) model number I was able to find. Can anyone fill in the blanks and/or confirm the information I have is correct?

28mm f/2.8 (non-USM / non-IS - 1987 model) -- Unknown
28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 USM (Mark I w/ metal mount - 1991 model) -- Unknown
35-135mm f/4-5.6 USM -- EW-62 or ET-62?
100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM -- ET-65?

Thank you in advance!

The old Arc Form Drive EF 28mm f/2.8 and EF 35mm f/2 both use the EW-65. The ES-65 is only a little longer, and would probably also work. Especially if you are using it on a crop camera.

The EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 USM (Mark I metal mount) uses the EW-68B, but the EW-68A is nearly identical, and will also fit.

The EF 35-135mm f/4-5.6 USM uses the EW-62

The EF 70-210mm USM and EF 100-300mm USM are nearly identical and both use the ET-65

Hi Mike,

Wow, thank you so much for the detailed information! All of my lenses are usually fitted to my 5D Classic, but I sometimes use a Rebel XT as well.
