Best Lens Hood for 40 2.8 STM

Not in my opinion the one designed for this lens, a hood is made to stop flare not just to say I´m a lens hood.

Planning to use the one designed for the 50 1.8 the Canon ES-62 , It might destroy the low profile but on

a APS-C Sensor Does what a lens hood is made for.

Any better option ?

In theory it could work, but I can't say from experience. Is it the same size diameter and thread? Only one way to find out I suppose.

Looks like you have plenty of options, and room on a crop without vignetting.

You will find that any hood on this lens is going to vignet. Why because the angle of view from the lens is to great. Only a very narrow hood will work. The hood made for this lens will vignet.
