Q: 2. Can you put a filter on the front of the lens hood? If so, what size?

A: The thread on the front is not a standard size and will not accept threaded filters.

Q: 3. Will this hood work for a 50mm f 1.8?

A: It will not. This hood is for the RF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens. For the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens, B&H # CA5018EFSTM, you will need the Canon ES-68 Lens Hood, B&H # CAES68. https://bhpho.to/2nFx3ck

Q: 4. Is this hood supposed to have small openings on the left and right sides that you can see through? I don't know if this would affect picture quality, but the Vello hood I got for my 75-300mm did not have these side openings.

A: No, the hood does not have openings. It is made for the Canon's EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens. That lens does not need a hood that has openings.

Q: 5. Will this work on Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II?

A: NO, The correct lens hood for the older EF 50mm 1.8 II is the Canon ES-62 which must be used with the 62L adapter. The ES-68 hood will ONLY fit the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM. It has a bayonet mount and will not fit any other lens. The older EF 50mm 1.8 II has no bayonet mount for a hood. You should use the 62L adapter which screws on to the 52mm filter threads and then mount the ES-62 hood. You could also use any generic 52mm screw on hood.

A: Yes you can store the lens hood in reverse on the lens.
