Hi,
I write again my question I posted in the "lens hood" thread (in the general photography discussion section) because I think this section is more appropriated for the subject:
I've an ef 17-40mm f/4 used on a crop camera (50D), but obviously the lens hood (EW-83E) is designed for FF camera.
So, sometimes I found useful to have a "bigger" petal shape hood in order to better preserve from flare.
the lens hood serie EW-83 is designed for 77mm diam. lenses as my 17-40mm.
Does someone of you use another EW-83x hood on a 17-40? I mean, an EW-83J (designed for 17-55 f/2.8) fits on 17-40mm?
and what about a EW-83H or EW-83D?
Have ever tried to fit these on a 17-40mm?
many thanks in advance for the help

Re: lens hood for APS-C
Nicola,
I can't vouch for the accuracy of this article that I found using Google...

BTW: The eBay Chinese knock-off lens hoods do quite a good job for a fraction of the price of an OEM Canon hood. They don't have the Canon flocking but, that has never caused me any problems with my 17-55mm lens...

You are right, I have bought a very cheap lens hood for one of my zoom on ebay and it works well, so I'm going to order an EW-83J on ebay and even if it will not fit I will not fall in financial crisis...
many thanks again
best regards
