How does this mount? I just got lens and hood, and I see no way to attach the lens hood. I have other hoods so not unfamiliar.
I have the specific lens and the hood, but can't see how to mount it. There is nothing for the bayonet mount to attach to on the lens that I can see.

I've read a hood can reduce veiling on this lens on high-key scenes when you're wide open? Can anyone speak to that?
The more non-image light you can keep from striking the front lens element the better. This hood is designed to provide maximum protection from side light without cropping into the image. If the hi key light source is actually within the image you're framing the hood will have no effect on reducing flare or veiling.
