Re: Is there a shorter lens hood for the 100 IS macro?


Howard, never shot with this specific lens (I shoot Nikon) but my suggestion still applies.
Purchase a 67mm to 72mm step-up ring and a 72mm metal hood from Adorama/B&H/eBay.
They\'ll have several options for the hood...wide....normal...telephoto. Normal will be shorter yet
should provide adequate extraneous light protection. You may find a 72mm or 77mm lens cap
will fit on the end, solving that little PITA dilemma. Metal rocks, it\'ll screw in and facilitate Cir Pol
adjustments if you ever chose to use one. HTH, yeah...I\'m a genius.

FWIF, I have aftermarket metal hoods on all my Nikon lenses. Using Cir Pol\'s is a dream AND I can
set the camera down lens first with any combination of body/glass. Pretty cheap fix, if you shop around.
