Re: Proper Lens Hoods for RF 35/1.8, 50/1.8 and 85/2.0 STM Lenses

Believe it or not I finally had my "official" Canon hood for the RF 50mm f/1.8 show up after two months, the ES-65B. It was way over priced but I bought it anyway.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Its a bayonet type that also has a lock button and is also reversible. So quality wise it almost matches a L hood since it has the lock and is a proper size and capability.

Wish they had done something similar for the RF 35mm f/1.8 as well. For that there really is nothing good except third party screw on hoods.
