Product Information

Full details

The Canon ET-87 Lens Hood is designed for photographers using the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens. Its primary benefit is to significantly reduce lens flare and ghosting caused by direct light sources, thereby improving image clarity and contrast. A minor caveat is its specific compatibility, meaning it's not interchangeable with other lenses. This essential accessory effectively shades the lens's front element, enhances optical performance in bright conditions, and offers a degree of physical protection.

Troubleshooting

Hood does not attach securely

Ensure you are using the correct lens model (Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM). Verify that the mounting bayonet on the lens and the hood are clean and free of debris. Realign and twist gently until it locks.

Hood feels loose after attachment

Double-check that the hood has been twisted fully clockwise until it is firmly locked in place. If it continues to feel loose, there may be an issue with the mounting mechanism on either the lens or the hood.

Visible vignetting (dark corners) in photos

The ET-87 hood should not cause vignetting on the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens when used at any focal length. Ensure the hood is correctly attached and fully locked. If vignetting persists, check if the lens is compatible and try shooting at the longest focal length.
