LIMITED STOCK: 3D Printed Reversible Lens Hood for Canon RF 35mm Macro IS STM

What's the purpose of a lens hood?
In photography, a lens hood or lens shade is a device used on the front end of a lens to block the sun or other light source(s) to prevent glare and lens flare. Lens hoods may also be used to protect the lens from scratches and the elements without having to put on a lens cover.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! LIMITED STOCK!

The Canon RF 35mm f1.8 Macro IS STM (MSRP $499.00) should be in every photographers camera bag who owns a Canon EOS R, RP, R5, R6/Mark II, R3, R7, R8, R10, R50, R100 and any other new/future R-series camera. The image quality is great, lots of great reviews and the price is affordable without breaking the bank but it doesn't come with a lens hood.

Canon offers the EW-52 Lens Hood (MSRP $41.95 - Amazon US | Amazon CA | Amazon UK | B&H Photo | Adorama | eBay) as seen above. The EW-52 is a screw-on lens hood and is smaller than your typical round/petal lens hood. I'm not a big fan of screw-on lens hood because if there was strong enough impact, it can damage the lens and its so short that it really doesn't offer that much of a protection. Bigger lens hoods that attach simply slip over the lens, offer more protection to the lens and pop off from accidental impacts.

JJC (Amazon US | Amazon CA | Amazon UK) is the only 3rd party manufacturer that offers a lens hood for the RF35mm. It uses a gasket and adapter ring to attach the lens hood and the lens hood is the tulip flower petal type; to remove the adapter ring, it requires a tool. Otherwise, they all offer the same EW-52 screw-on style lens hood. This 3D printed lens hood is like the round (cylindrical) bayonet lens hood we are known to seeing on other lenses with some slight improved modifications:

• OEM Lens Hood : Screw on
• 3D Printed : The 3D printed lens hood is held in place with friction and easy to attach and remove. It can also be reversed for storage.
• OEM Lens Hood : Short and lack of protection
• 3D Printed : With the added length, the interior is flocked to prevent any glare/reflections (easily removable) and there's NO vignetting! Majority of photographers use lens hoods for protection and this 3D printed lens hood offers protection and blocks our flares.

Interior flock material is hand-cut and pre-installed onto lens hood. If you do not want it, you can easily remove it. This 3D printed lens hood has (what we feel is) the perfect snug fit when mounted onto the camera lens. It stays on securely and comes off easily.

 COMPATIBILITY

The lens hood is compatible with the following lens:

News Highlights

• 0.06s Low Latency
• 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz Dual Band
• HDMI Loopout

• UVC Streaming

IRVINE, California – Hollyland is excited to announce the new arrival of the Pyro series, the latest addition to the catalog of wireless video transmission systems. On April 24, Hollyland launches the first product of this series, the Pyro H.

The Pyro H offers enhanced monitoring stability and collaboration on set. It is perfect for diverse applications, such as film production, commercial filming, live event filming, ENG/EFP applications, and more.

Equipped with More Functions and Capabilities Than Ever Before
With self-developed 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz Dual-Band technology, the Pyro H features a stable transmission range of up to 1,300ft (400m). It achieves a minimal transmission latency of 60ms thanks to upgraded chips and optimized video encoding/decoding algorithms. The Pyro H gives more flexibility when extra monitoring needs arise on set.

The Pyro H’s one transmitter can connect with four receivers with stable signals. The crew individuals at different locations will receive and monitor the real-time shooting view wherever they are. You can select the Smooth Mode or HD Mode depending on your specific needs. Smooth Mode is ideal for maintaining stability over long distances, while HD Mode prioritizes high-definition image quality.

The Pyro H provides better wireless transmission stability, as well as a more user-friendly experience. When it powers up, it automatically chooses a high-quality frequency channel, and users can activate the smart channel scan function to receive real-time feedback on the frequency status.

Unparalleled Convenience and Enhanced User Experience

The Pyro H isn't just built for performance; it's also crafted for ease of use. The transmitter has an HDMI input and a loopout port that allow it to send signals to multiple receivers simultaneously while also facilitating real-time on-set monitoring. The Pyro H also offers a range of power options, such as USB-C power supply, standard DC power, or an NP-F battery.

The Pyro H has advanced preset grouping and pairing features to help users set it up easily and quickly. This saves valuable time on set by eliminating the need for frequent manual configuration of transmitters and receivers.

Moreover, the UVC streaming function makes it connect directly with computers and other devices without the need for capture cards or complicated software installations. This plug-and-play capability is especially beneficial for users involved in live streaming or video conferencing who need fast and reliable setup options.

Superior Video Transmission Quality

The Pyro H has the ability to wirelessly transmit high-resolution video in various formats, including 4K at 25, 24, and 30 frames per second, as well as Full HD 1080p at 50, 59.94, and 60 frames per second. With its capability to handle 4K, the Pyro H provides footage with exceptional clarity, detail, and realism.

• Amazon US | Amazon CA | Amazon UK | B&H Photo | Adorama | eBay

At the time of this post, these adapters are either hard to find, have a long back-order whether it be from Amazon US, Amazon CA, Amazon UK, B&H Photo, Adorama, Canon's online store or even price gouged on eBay.

However, if you are in need of an EF/S-RF lens mount adapter immediately for a project or vacation, there are other alternatives from 3rd party manufacturers. We've compiled a list of brands and where you can purchase them. The adapters retains full auto-focus and image stabilization capabilities and contains no optical components, thereby maintaining the original optical quality of the mounted lens. The only difference between OEM and 3rd party is the material quality and added lens/tripod collar (if applicable). They don't break the bank like the Canon or the price gouging from 2nd hand markets but it will hold you over until you're able to find a Canon version or if you feel the need to get OEM.

You never know...you may end up liking the aftermarket ones and saving some money.

We’re continuously working to improve this list by adding new adapters and removing the ones that are no longer in production. Please if you find any new or missing adapters that will need to be on the list. Price may vary from listed pricing. All pricing is listed in USD.
