How do you reverse hood? Is it supposed to be so difficult to match threads?

Threads are not well-done on this hood. The thread base is supposed to stay on the lens, the hood then screws on the base either way.

the collar that you thread on to the filter threads is where you fit the hood on, both for reverse and photo taking positions. it doesn't work well, its very tight and i ended up not using it. i just got the canon hoods for the lens instead.

Their is a thread mount ring that fits onto the thread of the lens and the hood twists onto the mount ring. The mount ring stay's in place, while you twist the hood off flip it over and twist it back onto the mount ring. Just reverse the process to flip it back. Hope this been some help.

Different from an OEM lense hood, there is an adaptor that screws into the threads on the front of the lense (where a uv filter would screw in). The lense hood screws into the adaptor in a quick connect format. The threads on the plastic do not have enough bite to hold and when you take the lense hood on and off, the adaptor turns and your lense hood is now out of alignment. There is a tension ring provided to help out but it does not have enough bite either to keep everything straight. Avoid the frustration and buy an OEM lense hood.

Karen....extremely easy to reverse the hood....just be careful you don't cross the threads....go slow. But it does work!ed

The hood does not unscrew....it has a slot and tab..you turn the tab tothe slot and remove it turn it around and replace the tab in the slot and turn it tolock it in place. Visa versa to put it back to the first position.

Well from what the companies says...it's not suppose to be hard...but it takes a while to get it right...and in my case..the hood once reveresd over the lens...it started rubbing up against the lens it self...and that made to focusing take even longer....and I bet after a while it will mess with the look of the lens by so much rubbing.

You can pick 5 different options. under "size" you have options CT24, CTAC, GW19 , LS24, UM42. These "Sizes" are all different hood options. Select one and hit buy it now.

Start turning hood counterclockwise, stop and start going clockwise..stop, turn counterclockwise. Hood should come off!

Yes, no reverse so have to point fans different ways. No meant tofit allegy filter but don't see why you could try.Duck tape does wonders for cheap fixes.Dr. Speck

yes it does... when the hood is backwards is an easy fit. when it's properly installed it can fit very tightly and becomes simpler to turn the hood than trying to fit it

Both mirrors are standard thread. I'm sure Google can help you find an adapter. I'm pretty sure I've seen them somewhere.

i think you have it "backwards". Just gently un-bolt the sides and swap them. That should do it!

I really don't like the hood mine came with. Hoping for a better one, thoughts?

The one I bought fits, but the mounting screws do not fit the holes in the hood, and I don't want to drill more holes, shouldn't have to. Still looking for some screws that will fit. I should have sent it back, but have had it to long now. Hope this helps.

Try turning it upside down. I thought both ends looked the same and had the same problem. Finally out of frustration I turned it upside down and it fit great.

Absolutely not I bought this hoping I could but when it arrived the threads do not match up

Not 100% about a GLS. I have a Limited but from what I see, the hoods are the same.

you can get them to work but they were a real pain and took a lot of time to get them installed. I took them to a body shop and they couldn't install them. hoods with any slope are the problem. I think the design is poor.

Well the knobs fit the screw of this thread . So if anything take the screw to homedepot or a place where they sell knobs and they would be able to help u out . Idk where u can find these EXACT knobs , but there are plenty of oretty knobs out there !

On your propane tank there's the regular old male with the big threads... Now look INside that fitting and there are threads. This is what this fits. Reverse threads.

I think the MX5347 was designed for something like the 70-200 f2.8L. Check out the Tamrac MX5341 instead. I use for the 70-300L so it should definitely fit your lens with reversed hood.
