The dedicated Vello EW-88C Lens Hoodis specifically designed for use with Canon's EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM 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.

The "petal" shape of this lens hood maximizes the amount of hood coverage for the minimum amount of weight and hood area. 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.

Q: 1. Was this suposed to come with an adapter just like the vello lhc es62? I cant attach a hood on my canon efs 22mm 2.8.

A: This lens hood is for the full frame Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 lens. It is not designed to work with the EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM lens. For the EF-S STM lens, you would need to go with the same lens hood that the 40mm f/2.8: ES-52.

Q: 2. Will this fit / work on my Sigma 150 macro DG HSM ? I have same model Vello I use on my Canon EFS 17-85 and would like to get same for the Sigma . thanks

A: No it will not. The EW-78D hood is a proprietary hood from Canon designed to work with a small handful of specific Canon lenses. It is not compatible with this Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro lens. The Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro lens is supplied with its own specially designed/proprietary lens hood. We do not carry spare hoods for that model lens, you would need to contact Sigma directly if you are looking to replace that model.If you simply like the shape of the EW-78D hood and wanted one that looks similar to it for your Sigma lens, Vello does offer a similar shaped, generic fitting hood for lenses with a 72mm sized lens cap/filter fitting which would fit on your Sigma lens.
