FAQs
What lens is the ET-89 Hood designed for?
The ET-89 Lens Hood is specifically designed for the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM lens.
Will this lens hood fit other Canon lenses?
No, the ET-89 Lens Hood is custom-fit for the RF 85mm f/1.2L USM lens only and will not fit other Canon or third-party lenses.
How does a lens hood improve image quality?
A lens hood blocks stray light from entering the lens at oblique angles, which helps to prevent veiling flare and ghosting, thereby improving image contrast and color saturation.
Can I leave the lens hood on the lens all the time?
Yes, you can leave the lens hood attached. It offers protection to the front element and can be reversed for more compact storage when not actively shooting.
Does the lens hood affect the field of view?
When correctly attached to the specified lens, the ET-89 lens hood is designed not to vignette (darken the corners) the image.
How do I clean the lens hood?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the exterior. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid getting moisture inside the lens mount area.
What is the 'non-reflective matt interior' feature?
This refers to the inside surface of the lens hood, which has a matte black finish to absorb any stray light that might reflect off the inside walls, further preventing internal reflections.
Troubleshooting
Hood does not attach securely
Ensure you are using the correct lens (Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM) and that the mounting bayonet on both the lens and hood are clean and free of debris. Try aligning the marks again and rotating firmly until you feel a click or secure fit.
Flare is still present
While the hood significantly reduces flare, extreme lighting conditions might still produce minor artifacts. Ensure the hood is fully and correctly attached. Consider adjusting your shooting angle slightly relative to the light source.
Hood is difficult to reverse for storage
Ensure the hood is properly aligned with the lens barrel when reversing. Sometimes a slight twist while applying gentle pressure can help it slide into place. Check that no debris is obstructing the reverse mounting mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This lens hood is exclusively designed for the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM lens. Ensure you have this specific lens model before purchasing.
Setup: To attach, align the hood with the mounting bayonet at the front of the lens. Gently rotate the hood clockwise until it locks securely into place. To reverse the hood for storage, align the mounting bayonet on the hood with the corresponding points on the lens barrel (near the front element) and rotate counter-clockwise, then slide it over the lens body.
Care: Clean the exterior of the lens hood with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the lens mount. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the finish or the interior anti-reflective coating.
