This may sound sacrilegious, but you can start with the more restrictive
hood and just grind it back with something like a Dremel until it
doesn't vignette.
I've always found that Canon is very conservative with their hoods (they
leave much more clearance than they need). I have always used one hood
longer than recommended, even with a full-frame camera.

Subject: EOS lenshood for 17-40
I just got a used 17-40 mm lens, and need to get a lenshood for it.
Are there any other options (read cheaper), than the canon ew-83e.
I'll be using it on a 10D, so the field of view that needs to
be covered is not as great as with full frame. When I can
afford a ful frame digital, I can afford the real lens hood.
thanks
Steve
