Lens hoods
Lo all
Can anyone help me along the road to enlightenment? I'm the happy owner of the 17-40L lens, this comes with the EW-83E hood, popular suggestion would have me belive that this hood is not suited to this lens when used on a camera with a 1.6 crop, namely the 20D. Can anyone offer resoning for this and suggest a hood that will work on such a set up before i go

The reasoning is that the full field of view is somewhat restricted due to the crop factor thus the supplied hood unless being used on a full frame camera is useless.
I am led to believe that some people have sourced longer alternative hoods of a different Canon lens (my memory is not great here but it could possibly be the 28-75L lens) I would expect to pay a tidy sum for such an accessory. I would pop down to Jessops and look at the range of rubber add on hoods as they can be folded back or cut to the correct length..also they will cost a lot less than an "L" lens hood for sure.

I might well look at the rubber hoods you mention, but i'd rather have a pukka Canon item to add to the display case as it were
 I can't remember for the life of me where it was i read about this...... the search begins

I have a Hoya rubber hood that can be folded back, great quality. I reckon rubber is your best bet.
