Is there a lens hood sold with this lens? I have seem pictures of the lens but never of the hood. Since it's an L lens I assume there is one.

Anyone owning one can answer this?

No lens hood, an no rear filter holder.

That's odd. Because Canon USA's site says that lens hood, cap and pouch are all provided. See -

Mine has been delivered. I can confirm there is no lens hood and no chance you will get one to work on it - the front element protrudes too far.

A very funky lens cap too - lose this one and it will cost you a fair bit to replace.

A good lens from my tests thus far - and works acceptably with a Kenko 1.4 TC. Hope to do a lot more testing over the weekend although the weather is now looking awful.

What's the "threading" on the front ring of the lens for? It sure looks a hood would fit on there. Even the 14L with it's massive protruding element has a hood. Integrated, but a hood nonetheless.

On the other hand, Canoga Camera does not mention any hood under its "Includes" tab. See -

On the other hand, the hood listed is the EW75BII, same as on the original 24 TSE.

Actually, Canon USA lists the hood as included (along with a cap and pouch) in the specifications.

There is no hood. The threading is for the lens cap.

Good luck even thinking about a hood. It would have to be a hood for an effective focal length of about 9-10mm, (taking shift into account of course) not 17mm. Think about the circular (and fullframe) fisheyes - their focal length is about the same - no hood possible really.

What about the new TS-E 24mm? Does it have a hood?

Yes, it has a hood. It is similar to the old version, not exactly sure if it is the same one.

I also own the 17mm TS-E. Let me clarify that it does not and cannot have a hood.

A 17mm TS-E lens having a 67.2mm image circle, meaning that the lens is actually a 8-10mm wide lens. The original 24mm TS-E I is a 16mm wide lens. How can you put a lens hood to a 8-10mm wide lens?

The picture below shows the appearance of 17 TS-E vs 14 II and 15 Fisheye, both have built-in lens hood but are less wide.

And the lens cap provided for the 3 lenses:

I know a lens is just a tool with a purpose, but my gosh, that 17mm is one beautiful piece of gear!

Thank you for your patient reply

Perhaps people will finally stop arguing with those that actually own the darn thing.

THERE IS NO HOOD!

It is just wonderfully engineered; the nicest lens I have had the pleasure of owning. It really feels like the precision instrument it has to be in order to do it's job well. And Canon have listened to complaints such as the dreadful locking mechanism on the old lens (you can lock the tilt - always a bane of my life with the 24mm lens) and, of course, independent shit/tilt.

The front element is worrying though - need to double check insurance

The lens cap is very well designed. When on there is a little lock that requires you push a button to remove it. This means that you can carry it without concern that it could accidentally fall off.
It has a cord loop so when I walk with the lens I slide my left hand through the loop and then remove the cap. It hangs there as a reminder to replace it as soon as I finish shooting. If using a tripod it can hang on the tripod. On the whole I think it is a very intelligent solution to the problem.
Another thing concerning the pop-eye is what happens if the sun shines into it. There is just a small spot of color which can be spotted out easily. So far the flare is very minor.

I got an email from Adorama today concerning my preorder of TSE 17mm f/4 L. It says:

"Unfortunately, the manufacturer let us down, and now we let you down. We apologize for being off our estimate."

How is it that Canon ships these lenses to Europe weeks earlier but not to USA?

I was at Keeble & Shuchat in Palo Alto this morning and I heard chatter that the TSE-17 is now going to ship in July.

What the hell is Canon up to?
