Hi,

I am looking for an ET-65III alternative for EF 100mm f/2.
Sometimes smaller hoods fit onto another lens but I couldn't find any hints yet.
I would like to add something smaller than the original if this is possible and, still maintain sufficient protection from stray/side-light.

Anyone here with a good alternative?

If you already have the ET-65III hood there's nothing to stop you shaving a bit off the end with a Stanley knife as it's a soft enough plastic to let you do that. The more you shave off, the less protection from stray/side-light it gives, of course, and it's pointless to try to turn it into a petal hood as it rotates freely.
