"An image of the Canon ES-60 Lens Hood has surfaced. The shape isn't one I'm particularly fond of (I prefer the petal type) although i note that Canon prefers the tubular type of lens hood for some bright primes like the 50mmL and 85mmL lenses."

I am not sure it's a matter of preference, I can imagine it's more about optics and field of view: petal type hoods for wide-angle primes and zoom starting with wide angle, tubular hoods for everything from 50mm and longer, referring to Canon full frame lenses.

32mm x 1,6 = 51,2mm -> tubular type lens hood...;-)

I see RF 50mm f/1.2 with non tubular type hood.
