I’m trying to find a lens hood for the original Canon EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 (not the II or USM version). I first thought the Canon ET-62 or ET-62 II would fit, but after buying an ET-62 I found the lens appears to have no bayonet hood mount. Does this lens support any dedicated Canon hood, and if not, what hood options will work from the 52mm filter threads?

This question is five years old but I do have the correct answer.

The original Canon EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 did not have a provision to mount a lens hood so there is no designated lens hood for it.

One solution is to use a generic 52mm screw in lens hood.

A better solution is to use the Canon 62-L adapter which normally comes with the Canon ES-62 hood designed for the EF 50mm F/1.8 II. The 62-L adapter screws into the 52mm filter threads of any lens that uses 52mm filter threads. Once the 62-L is in place you can use the ES-62 or ET-62 clip on lens hood.

There are third party ES-62 lens hoods available cheaper than Canon, but be careful because many of them are not like the Canon ES-62. Some are actually one piece designs that just screw into the 52mm filter threads. They can not be stored reversed on the lens like a clip on design.

Others are two piece designs but the hood mounts to the adapter with a bayonet mount instead of a clip on mount. The only problem here is that a Canon ES-62 or ET-62 hood might not mount properly on the third party adapter.

The original Canon EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 does not have a built-in bayonet mount for a dedicated Canon hood, so the ET-62/ET-62 II will not attach directly.

Practical options are:

  • use a generic 52mm screw-in hood, since the lens uses 52mm filter threads
  • use Canon’s 62-L adapter, which screws into the 52mm filter threads and lets you attach compatible clip-on hoods such as the Canon ES-62 or ET-62

So your ET-62 isn’t the right direct-fit hood for this lens, but it may be usable if you add the 62-L adapter first.

One community reply suggested an ET-54, but the more detailed answer explains why the original lens has no native hood mount at all. The key point is that this lens needs either a screw-in hood or an adapter-based solution rather than a direct bayonet hood.
