The dedicated white Vello ET-74W Lens Hood - Whiteis specifically designed for use with Canon's EF 70-200mm f/4L & EF 70-200mm f/4L IS lenses. 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.

The bayonet mount is designed to also work in the reversed position, allowing the hood to be placed backwards over the lens for a more compact storage solution.

Designed to accommodate the exact angle of view of the camera's lens

Q: 1. Does this replace LHC-ET8311?

A: The Vello hood is not a replacement for the ET83111. It is a lower cost alternative to this Canon hood: https://bhpho.to/3hNkyLM

Q: 2. Is there any reason this hood would not work on an old Nikkor 70-210 Series E lens?

A: It won't work because the bayonet connection for the lens hood is different between Canon and Nikon and also the diameter needs to be exactly the same and the position of the mount needs to be exactly the same, therefore when getting a dedicated bayonet style hood such as this one it needs to list exactly the lens you own or it won't work.

Q: 3. Will this fit a 18-55m lens for the Canon Rebel T6?

A: No, this is a telephoto lens hood and not appropriate for the 18-55mm.

Q: 4. Do Vello make hoods that fit Sigma lenses such as the 17-70mm zoom with a 72mm filter size?

A: I purchased the ET-83C hood for a Canon 100-400 f 4.5-5.6. The filter ring for this lenses is 77 mm and your Sigma lenses is 72 mm filter size. This hood would not fit. All the best.

Q: 5. Will it fit a Canon EF 28-300 3.5 - 5.6?

A: Unfortunately, the ET-60 is not compatible with the EF 28-300mm lens. For the EF 28-300mm lens, you would need the EW-83G lens hood. http://bhpho.to/1in66Sv

Q: 6. Will this lens hood work on a Canon 70-300mm USM IS lens?

A: The lens hood fits most 58mm lens threading. SO given that the 70-300mm is a 58mm filter thread, i believe its safe to say you'll be able to use this just fine with your lens.

Q: 7. Will this lens hood work on the new Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM?

A: Yes I am using it for horse racing photography. BH recommended it which was very helpful.

Q: 8. Will this attach to my Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens?

A: No, it will not. The Vello ET-65 III Lens Hood is not compatible for use with the Canon 100mm F/2.8L EF IS USM Macro Lens; it is only compatible with the Canon 100mm f/2 EF USM lens, the Canon 85mm f/1.8mm EF USM lens, the Canon 135mm f/2.8 EF with Softfocus lens, and the Canon 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 EF USM lens. If you are looking for the correct Vello lens hood for use on the 100mm f/2.8L EF IS USM Macro lens, the Vello ET-73 Dedicated Lens Hood, B&H # VELHCET73, would instead be the right option for your needs.

Q: 9. can this be used with 58mm filters?

A: Yes. The polarizer isn't as easy to rotate, but it can be done.

Q: 10. Even though this was designed for the 85mm f/1.8, can it still be used with a 50mm f/1.4 without affecting the quality of the image?

A: In my experience a crop sensor camera (50d - 1.6x crop factor) using a 85mm lens hood on a 50mm lens will not run into the field of view. However at full-frame (1ds mark iii) one might experience some darkness at the corners of the frame.
