Can anyone tell me if the Canon 100mm MACRO lens comes with a lens hood as standard, or does it cost extra. Many Thanks  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com > Can anyone tell me if the Canon 100mm MACRO lens comes with a lens hood as > standard, or does it cost extra. > > Many Thanks If you are talking about the EF 100/2.8 it does not come with a hood.

That being the case you don't actually need a lens hood as the lens barrel does the job quite nicely. The other thing is that if you are using the lens at closest focus you may have issues with a lens hood shading the object being photographed - depending on how its being lit obviously Hop ethis helps Dudley >> Can anyone tell me if the Canon 100mm MACRO lens comes with a lens hood >> as [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Hop ethis helps Good points. Also I tend to use my 100/2.8 with a MacroLite3 (at least I did before upgrading to a 350D rendered it useless) so a hood was never an issue.

I borrowed a Canon 100mm macro and the front element was not as recessed as the 105mm Sigma that I used to use. If I'd kept the Canon macro then, yes, I would have bought a lens hood. Catch with the hood is that it may get in the way of an on-camera flash (but so might the actual body of the lens).

That's why the 100/2.8 (and other macro lenses) are really intended for use with a ring flash. Garry |
