Key Features

For Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 Lens

The dedicated Vello ES-52 Lens Hood is specifically designed for use with Canon's EF 40mm f/2.8 lens. It is primarily used to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of it. A dedicated hood is crafted to perfectly suit the specific focal length of the lens it is designed for. Additionally, this hood features a non-glare matte finish on the interior surface to further prevent or limit lens flare. Also, since the end of the lens is extended, you get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.

I'll be honest, not sure how well it actually does it's job because I don't use my lens without it!

Weird but maybe that's the lens

The Canon pancake is kinda' odd, noticeably the autofocus with an extending barrel, but since coupling with the manual focus ring is by wire (electrical, not mechanical) you can't retract the barrel manually without slapping the lens on a powered on camera. But do it, otherwise you risk destroying the geartrain of your lens' autoficus system. Also odd, the hood is far forward compared to the glass and seemingly restricts the diameter of glass that is going to see the light. I suppose it's the whole point and calculated correctly to not cause vignette or worse. After all this, the hood seems OK during regular operation but to be fair I do not shoot this lens very often and maybe I need to rediscover it (on full frame for example as I only had a 7D so far). BTW this hood screws into the filter thread and offers another filter thread on its front side so you can stick your UV filter on top. As such it attaches very differently than traditional hoods, but due to its proper construction and correct filter threading in front & back, it doesn't seem to cause any problems. It is more weight for the focusing system to move around but that seems OK.

See any errors on this page?

Can you put a filter on the front of the lens ...

Can you put a filter on the front of the lens hood? If so, what size?

Asked by: Hector

No, it is only possible to install a 52 mm filter at the rear of the ES-52 Lens hood but not in front of it.

question

Does this also fit the EF-S 24mm F/2.8 STM like the Canon brand hood?

Asked by: Christopher

Yes it does, I use this hood on both the 24mm and the 40mm lenses with no issues. Hope this helps.Mark
