Hood problem
Sep 14, 2012 16:52:17 #
Isn't the hood marked with the focal length of the lens that it is to fit? Or at least a model number that you can check to confirm that it IS the correct lens / hood combination?

Are we even sure it is the hood? Looks kinda like the effect you get when you have a thick cpl fitted and zoom out, when the filter being too thick shows up in the image

Actually... jeepdaddy might be on to something here. Maybe you didn't rotate it completely on? This would leave the larger petals at the corners.... Reminds me of the first time I used a new wide angle. I had a habit of stepping to the side of the tripod. Guess what was in the lower right corner? My shoe!

if you read previous posts you will see she already answered that about the petals and about being sure it was fitted correctly.

Yeah ok. It was more about being crooked... but whatever.

Can anyone tell me why I get this affect on some of my photos please? I am using a Canon 7D and this photo was taken with a EFS 15-85mm lens with the correct Canon hood. It has happened with and without the sun in the picture.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I suspect you may have one or more stacked filters on the lens so the hood added on the front of the stack is brought into the line of sight of the lens.

Do Canon Hoods fit that way? On my Nikon, the Hood attaches behind where the filters sit-- so # of filters would not change the position of the hood relative to the lens

I don't know about Canon hoods. Mine was a general statement. I don't use a hood at all now adays. I instead find a way to shade me and the camera from direct sun. I also never stack filters anymore. One at a time only.
I ruined a whole Colorado trip in the late 1980s when I put a hood on my Nikon F3HP film SLR and I was using mostly a 28mm prime with UV filter and another filter (I forget which one) stacked for wide scenic landscapes in the Rockies. That hood threaded on. Because the viewfinder only showed about 97% of the actual image, the vignetting of the corners wasn't visible as I was shooting but it was on every shot when I used the hood (which was most of them) when I got back and processed them.

Perhaps this hood came out of the mold wrong. If you can find someone with another hood just like it, try using their hood to see if the problem still exists.

You have the hood on wrong, canon did not make a mistake.
Did they send you a book with the camera, lens, and hood , with a picture to show you how to put the hood on.
This whole thing does not make any sense.

I had the same problem once,mainly due to filters,removed them then ok. Also if your lens is set at 85mm back it off a little and will correct problem.

I'd really like to know what filters have to do with the hood vignetting: Attached are two photos: the first depicts the bayonet mount for the hood on the outside of the lens; the second shows the filter threads on the inside of the lens. So were your filters vignetting? or did you use one of those threaded rubber hoods?
Thanks

TrishV - have you resolved your lens hood problem?
