The ET-83C from the 100-400/4.5-5.6L IS fits both ways (as long as you don't try to hold the camera) and causes no visible vignetting when compared against a white wall with the lens focused at MFD. It also looks way out of place.

Veryvery cool!

That looks to be the answer, it’s one of the absolute deepest and if it stays on and doesn’t cause vignetting I say we have a winner ;D

It attaches with a distinct click.

I just checked on my brand new 85L f1.4, which I am on my way out to test. ;D

The hood that comes with the 100-400 L II does not fit very well at all. For some reason it is hard to turn around, and I would be afraid to break it if I were to use it.

The hood that comes with the 70-200L f 2.8 (non IS) - ET-83II - fits very well, does not cause visible vignetting, and must be deep enough to keep raindrops out. I guess it is a little less deep than the ET-83C, but it should be sufficient.

Very cool, thanks for checking!

Great! I ordered a 4 dollar copy off of eBay for testing ;D

Just to follow up, I can confirm that the EW-83F fits on both normally and reversed absolutely fine (better in my case than the ET-83B II which feels stiffer somehow) and, having tested it further, does not vignette at all. It is also somewhat longer than the ET-83B II, even at the shorter petal, so may provide even more rain cover.

It also still seems to be a stock item, at least at WEX in the UK where I have just ordered one (currently on half-price discount).

Cheers

Thanks a lot! I ordered one of those also, at 4 dollars it’s worth it. It’s usually no problem with flare in the rain so a cheap one will do ;D
