The dedicated Vello ET-74B Lens Hood is specifically designed for use with Canon's EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM & RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM 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 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is there any reason this hood would not work on an old Nikkor 70-210 Series E lens?

A: It won't work because the bayonet connection for the lens hood is different between Canon and Nikon and also the diameter needs to be exactly the same and the position of the mount needs to be exactly the same, therefore when getting a dedicated bayonet style hood such as this one it needs to list exactly the lens you own or it won't work.

Q: 2. Do Vello make hoods that fit Sigma lenses such as the 17-70mm zoom with a 72mm filter size?

A: I purchased the ET-83C hood for a Canon 100-400 f 4.5-5.6. The filter ring for this lenses is 77 mm and your Sigma lenses is 72 mm filter size. This hood would not fit. All the best.

Q: 3. Will it fit older canon 100-400 ?

Q: 4. will this fit my eos rebel t5 ?

A: The ET-65III lens hood fits the Canon 80mm f1.8, 100mm f2, 135mm f2.8 Soft Focus and 100-300mm f4.5-6.5 USM lenses. If you have one of those lenses attached to your Rebel T5 body, it will fit the lens. You need to identify the LENS you are trying to attach the hood to, not the camera body, for a good answer.

Q: 6. Will this attach to my Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens?
