Lens Hood for Canon TL-H43

[thadius65]

Aside from the Matteblox..... What lens hoods or "clip on" style matte boxes will fit on the Canon TL-H43?

In the WD-H43, a 77mm pop hood was used. What size would the TL-H43 use?

Thanks,

Ted

I also have the TL-H43, its a truly excellent telephoto lens through most of the zoom length. It is 74.5mm with no threads, so I have opted for the clamp-on step up to 77mm, with a 77mm B+W UV filter and the Hoya 77mm Hood.

I still dont have the clamp on step up ring so I have not fully tested this setup.

Please let us know how it goes. A pic of everything attached would be nice. :hv20-smilie77:

It will be some time. I just ordered the clamp on step up ring from BHPhotoVideo. But they dont have them in stock, they are special order only, and it takes 7-14 days for them to even recieve the product, then another 3-5 for shipping. So it could be anywhere from 2-3 weeks before I finally get my adapter! DOH!
Until then Ive got a 77mm B+W UV filter and a 77mm Hoya Hood just sitting here gathering dust. And my TL-H43 wants to see some action!
