The lens hood could be prettier. It's truly ugly. I use it though. It's more than half the length of the lens itself. I do like that it locks into place and doesn't rotate. It's not of the petal-type, it's cylindrical and has the felt lining on the inside that Canon is known for.

Yes, the hood is huge, so some photographers use the EW-78C from the EF 35mm 1.4L instead.

The EW-78D fits but the"petals" are 90 degrees out when installed.

Not sure about the EW-78, EW-78B, or EW-78E. They may work as well.
