If you already have ET65 hood (for your 85/1.8), this hoods also fits nicely into 50/1.8 original - bigger than the lens standar hood, but better and no vignetting. regards,,, Bambang. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
