I want something firm, and without vignetting. Can you give a link to something like that?

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

They're not firm - purely for flare resistance. They can be extended or retracted for various FoV. Here is an M645 unit.

Personally, I just find a rubber screw-in hood with the right FoV

That's exactly what I did for a few of my M645 lenses and it works great.

The bellows hood is for lenses from 55mm on:

"For use with lenses from 55 to 300mm, except 300mm f/2.8"

edit: I also have the 35/3.5 N, bought new (Yen 63,000 in 1999), and it came without hood. I later looked around but also could not find any.

Suggest a Hoya 3 position Rubber lens hood -

Ebay item # 250428452398

$16.95 and Free Shipping ( assume outside of USA might charge for shipping )

I use these on most of my lenses, the rear position is for wide angle and the Red Ring at the front of the shade turns any lens into an Instant "L" lens.

I know you are looking for a hard lens hood, but actually the quality rubber hoods protect a lens quite well also.

No thanks. It's way too big and cumbersome.

Can you give a link to a rubber screw-in hood with the right FoV? While I'd rather a firm one, a rubber one is better than nothing.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Anybody has an idea how to attach a 77mm filter to a Canon lens hood to make a DIY lens hood?

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Well, that's not what I'm looking for but as there is no original item it will do for now. Assuming shipping costs to Israel are reasonable (I've asked the seller) I'll buy it and continue thinking about a DIY lens hood.

Happy shooting,

How about this:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/11201-REG/B_W_65069652_77mm_Screw_In_Metal_Wide.html

or take this http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/11175-REG/B_W_65069633_77mm_Screw_In_Metal_Telephoto.html, calculate how long it needs to be and have the excessive length machined off.

You are looking for plastic because it will absorb energy, but I would think aluminum will work in similar way.

I am constantly amazed at the amount of info I'm getting here. Thank you very much. I nearly bought the rubber one but the short aluminum lens hood looks much better to me. I have a friend which is a machine engineer (sp.?). I'll ask him about trimming the long one.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

It turned out that precise chipping of aluminum is extremely expensive: 250$. Thus I eventually bought both the rubber one mentioned above and a metal one from e-bay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110391148604

It is both cheaper than the B&H one and I had money in my PayPal account which can only be used for internet purchases. I'll update when they arrive.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I cannot speak for other retailers, but generally when an item is listed as a replacement it means (for example) the lens came with one of these and you lost it and want to replace what you lost with another identical item. Replacement usually doesn't mean it's some sort of lesser copy, but a duplicate of an original.

I use the Contax Metal Hood system with many lenses, including my M645 C 35/3.5N. The Metal Hood 2 starts to vignette at about 8mm shift, and the Hood 1 at about 12mm.

You can sand-down an aluminum one on a cheap belt sander in 5 minutes. I know, because I've done it. (just use really good, aluminum oxide or similar belts) You don't need the precision edge obtained by milling.

-But if I were you I'd stick to the rubber, as it will absorb more shock. At some point you really should consider a rectangular hood, or one with a sliding front, or a bellows.

10X for this valuable info. I didn't know that.

I'm a silly goose indeed. I completely forgot about shifting.

Good to have you back my dear friend. I missed you. I hope you got some good canoe shots.
