Do you have to saw the hood on a full-frame? It appears to have a removeable hood in the pictures.

No don't saw it off! Remove the lencap. Then twist counter clockwise. And finally give it a slight squesse and pull. It doesn't come off easy but it does come off.

I don't think it's good for a full frame camera. I used to use it on my 60D but now on my 5D it is very vignetted. Interested to hear what sawing the removable hood would look like, not sure if it'd fix the problem though.

The hood is just out-of-frame, so I rarely find myself wanting to remove it, but yes, it's easily removeable by twisting it off. It's a feature Opteka added to the newer version of the lens, which is this one.

Yes, it does have a removable hood but I wouldn't recommend doing a 6.5mm with a full frame. I would recommend doing a 14mm. Such as this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003VSGQPG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1376974308&sr;=8-1π=AC_SX110_SY190

It does not come with a hood. Generally speaking, lenses of this focal length do not benefit much from hoods, but Canon does have a hood for this lens if you want to look cool. By the way, I LOVE this lens. Not only does it address a host of needs for the amateur photographer, but it has one of the elements (UD glass) in it that make the L series so extraordinary. It is also the best lens I have found for doing video with a 7D in close quarters like a room.

I no longer own this lens, but if think I had to purchase a lens hood separately.

There is a frame part that is attached to the aquarium walls that this will rest on along the edges. If you mean not including that part, then yes, it is the entire hood. It comes with clips so you can open it and it stays open if opened wide enough. Careful though, the hinges are poorly made.

No. This is a true Nikon hood. I can't answer to using with a filter, but there is no vignetting with the hood at any focal point.

Yes, mine did, it makes it a little hard to get to the Off/On switch but the hood can be removed easy.

I used the hood to protect the front element as I didn't like running a UV filter. You can find the hood on eBay (not Sony brand) for less than 150. They even have rangefinder leica style hoods

yes with the lens cover, no to the hood, the tripod was on the weak side but is usable. I love the camera, it shoots great videos as well as award winning stills. I would recommend getting a telephoto lens for it eventually. rdalepotrykus@yahoo.com if you have any more questions about this camera. It was well worth the money paid for it.

Nope. You may be able to cut it down. The actual lens slot is pretty small compared to everything else I have used (mainly Miller and one 3M).Still a decent hood. Got it for my helper because it was affordable. I have tried it a few times and like it. One thing I noticed that I don't remember reading before buying is that it doesnt have adjustable tint. It seems to auto adjust itself and I haven't been flashed while using it for TIG or stick.

There is a lens hood but no other accessories. You will need to purchase a UV filter.

Yes the hood is removable, but it is a bit of a pain to put back on. It is possible though.

this might not help much as I didn't try to move the head or remove the hood very hard but here's my opinion: it looks as though the head could move but I wouldn't reccomend it. and I don't think the hood can be removed either.

FYI - this lens (at lease the US version) DOES come new with a hood as well as a very nice $50+ zippered soft case and tripod mount the hood is a twist-on bayonet style similar to all OEM Canon hoods -it is more of a cone-style flat hood, NOT a petal-style hood like the 70-210mm has the case stands out as a high cost, high quality item worthy of housing such an expensive lens the tripod mount is completely solid and becomes part of the lens body - it is many times stronger than it needs to be

Yes, the hood is detachable which is nice when the infant can be front facing and not have a hood in their face:)

The hood is perfect for my camera and I use it to deflect sunlight. Care should be used in connecting it and make sure it "clicks" into place. No problems with it since purchase for my SX30.

At least in the U.S., no. The hood is / will be sold separately -- you can buy it separately in Europe, but it's not yet available in North America (either directly from Olympus, or via any retail outlet).

Well in order to attach the APS-C hood the full frame hood must first be attached. So I simply settled for the full frame hood, I thought it worked well enough for me.
