p.1 #6 · p.1 #6 · Is there a shorter lens hood that works on the 70-200 F4? | |

Using a shorter hood for mechanical protection is fine, but that shorter hood will not give the same optical protection from lens flare issues caused by the sun or other intense light sources that are just outside the field of view of the lens. The manufacturer designs the hood to give as much protection as practical, and anything shorter is not the same.
I realize this but it works as much as I need, to have a shorter one. I have used the 35L hood on the 135L for years and never had a problem and understand lens designs, optical etc. If I notice a problem, I use my hand for a little more cover.
