Looking for a lens hood. (turbotalon90 doesn't know how to make an appropriate title)

[DSM Dave]

Im getting pissed because I cant find a damn lense hood for my 70-300 62mm. All I can find is the little tiny ones and I want one like Jerms but his is a 58mm I beleive but help me out peeps!:crack:

[.:Chris:.]

So you want a hood, but not one designed for your lens?

If you get the wrong size it will likely either a) not be as effective as it could be or b) cause vignetting.

Check out b&h, search through the canon lens threads and find one that fits your lens threads (or bayonet mount).

[DSM Dave]

Just work your magic haha

[budakinns]

dave is too lazy to do something like that

[.:Chris:.]

I fixed your title for you. ;)

[EGKID]

Dave I have the small one that came with the lens

[Got boost??]

I fixed your title for you. ;)

lol

what lens is this exactly?

[CEMAYHALL]

Clueless Man!!! I tried to search but I came up empty!!! Do you think it has anything to do w/ the internals of the lens ~> shape of the glass's or crystals? Before you try to find this thing, just put a longer hood (the style you're looking for) up to the lens and take a picture! Check to make sure the hood isn't in the picture! This may be why you cant find one!!!

Good Luck finding something!!!

Damn that one is a little pricey... lol ummm but it would work.

[Mars_302]

the thread MM doesnt matter for the hood if its the correct dedicated hood. It screws to the outside of the lens barrel not to the threads. If you wanted just a regular screw in one NTP has those in stock for like $8-10. They are rubber collapsable ones. Give them a call anyway cause they do sell Tamron stuff as well.

[DSM Dave]

Alright then yeah im trying to get the one that goes on the lense itself not to the glass. Good call.

[Mars_302]

I used to have that exact lens years ago. Though the one i had I sold to brian on TF.

Good Luck selling Hoods... I cant give them away :lol:.

I just saw that they were out of stock :thumbdwn:

I know how Canon Lens Hoods work (I have 3 of them) but wasnt too sure about the one you posted...

The Collapsable Hoods get a :thumbdwn: from me! They look corny, cheap, unprofessional, and they collect a lot of dust/ dirt!

[.:Chris:.]

Just for reference, the style you guys are talking about is called a bayonet mount hood. Dave, does your lens have the bayonet mount receiver for the hood?

I've never tried a hood from a different lens before, I'd guess that it won't work. If I were you I'd call North Tampa Photo and ask them.
