Product Information
Full details
The Canon ET-101 Lens Hood is an essential accessory designed specifically for the RF 800mm f/11 IS STM super-telephoto lens, catering to nature and wildlife photographers who need to maintain contrast and clarity in bright outdoor conditions. By effectively blocking stray light, this hood prevents flare and ghosting while providing a critical layer of physical protection for the front lens element; however, it is a model-specific accessory and is not compatible with other lens focal lengths.

FAQs
Will this fit other Canon lenses?
No, the ET-101 is specifically engineered for the Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM lens and will not fit other models.
Does this hood protect against rain?
Yes, its shape helps keep raindrops off the front element, though it is not a fully waterproof seal.
Can I leave the lens hood on during storage?
Yes, it is designed to be reversed and stored directly on the lens, which is the recommended way to keep it attached without taking up extra space.
Is the material fragile?
It is made of durable, lightweight plastic designed to withstand outdoor use, but it should be handled with care to avoid heavy impacts.
Does it affect image quality?
It improves image quality by preventing non-image-forming light from entering the lens, which reduces flare and increases contrast.
Troubleshooting
Hood feels loose when attached
Ensure the hood is fully rotated until the locking mechanism clicks into the 'engaged' position.
Difficulty reversing the hood for storage
Check that there are no obstructions on the lens barrel and rotate the hood fully until it snaps into the reversed mounting position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The ET-101 is compatible exclusively with the Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM lens. To attach, align the hood's markings with the lens barrel and rotate until it clicks into place. For storage, reverse the hood by rotating it 180 degrees and locking it onto the lens in the opposite direction. To maintain the hood, wipe it down with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust or moisture. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the matte finish designed to absorb stray light.
