I am planning to buy at B&H wide angle adapter WD-58H along with hood hat from OP/Tech USA:
http://www.optechusa.com/product/detail/?PRODUCT_ID=16
As this item has no front thread, i'd like to know the front side diameter of it's petal hood so i could to choose which one of op/tech hood hat to buy along with it.
Neither Canon support nor OP/Tech and B&H couldn't provide me with this info.
here is OP/Tech reply:
It has been too difficult to keep track of all the different size shades
and adapters. The easiest way to size a Hood hat is by measuring the
diameter of the item you wish to cover. If the adapter is oval in
shape, use a dimension that is half way between the largest and smallest
dimension across the oval shape. The neoprene covers stretch to create
a custom fit.

The Hood hats will fit items from 2.75 inches to 7 inches.
I hope this helps.
