While shooting an event at Stone Brewery, my Canon 50mm F1.4 stopped auto-focusing. Ruh roh. After doing some internet research, I learned that the USM focus system on these lenses is a "ring type." The ring can easily be jarred out by bumping the front element. Seems too fragile. After a $100 repair fee at Canon Irvine, I knew I had to find a solution.
So, I picked up this OEM Canon Hood for $15 from B&H Photo. It threads into the body, and not the filter threads like some of the cheaper hoods. Hopefully I can keep this lens in good working order, because I really love it.
