"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.

Yeah, I'm going to buy one of those.  But the design factor should have come along with the 50mm lens.  At least the optics are recessed and I can add a filter (which will shield the lens further from side-flare).
