The dedicated Vello EW-78D Lens Hood is specifically designed for use with Canon's EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM & EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lenses. It is primarily used to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of it. A dedicated hood is crafted to perfectly suit the specific focal length of the lens it is designed for. Additionally, this hood features a non-glare matte finish on the interior surface to further prevent or limit lens flare. Also, since the end of the lens is extended, you get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.

The "petal" shape of this lens hood maximizes the amount of hood coverage for the minimum amount of weight and hood area. The bayonet mount is designed to also work in the reversed position, allowing the hood to be placed backwards over the lens for a more compact storage solution.

Q: 1. Does this hood work with the CANON RF 24-70MM F2.8 L IS LENS?

A: No, the Vello EW-88C Dedicated Lens Hood with Metal Lock is not designed for the Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens. The RF 24-70mm uses the Canon EW-88E Lens Hood, BH #CAEW88E (https://bhpho.to/38Vktnj).

Q: 2. Does this lens hood work with the Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 STM lens? The Canon version hood is an EW-73D, but the description doesn't mention compatibility for the RF lens.

A: This lens hood would fit a few different lenses, such as the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 STM and the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM.

Q: 3. Is the hood compatible with a Hoya UV filter and lens cap on the 18-135mm lens?

Q: 4. Will this fit / work on my Sigma 150 macro DG HSM ? I have same model Vello I use on my Canon EFS 17-85 and would like to get same for the Sigma . thanks

A: No it will not. The EW-78D hood is a proprietary hood from Canon designed to work with a small handful of specific Canon lenses. It is not compatible with this Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro lens. The Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro lens is supplied with its own specially designed/proprietary lens hood. We do not carry spare hoods for that model lens, you would need to contact Sigma directly if you are looking to replace that model.If you simply like the shape of the EW-78D hood and wanted one that looks similar to it for your Sigma lens, Vello does offer a similar shaped, generic fitting hood for lenses with a 72mm sized lens cap/filter fitting which would fit on your Sigma lens.

Q: 7. In the product highlights, it says it works with the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 Lens Original version only? What does it mean by 'original version' only? Does that mean it only works with EF lens and not the EF-S?

Q: 8. Hi will this hood work with Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens?

Q: 9. Will this work with Canon's EF-S 18-55mm f/**4**-5.6 IS STM lens - NOT the EF-S 18-55mm f/**3.5**-5.6 IS STM lens? (Both are 58mm filter size diameter)

A: I happen to have both of these lenses. This hood will not work on your lens. It only works on the STM lens. You need the EW-60C hood. Canon and Vello both make this hood. My hoods are Vello and they attach securely and work fine.

Q: 10. What do the initials STM on the lens stand for?

A: 45down voteacceptedSTM stands for Stepper Motor and is a applied to a new range of Canon lenses which feature a new design of focus motors which, along with a new iris mechanism are designed to eliminate (auditory) noise during video recording.
