For ES 50mm f1.8 lens, I bought http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ES-62-62-L-Bayonet-Lens-Hood-CANON-EF-50mm-f-1-8-II-/330399637154?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Lens_Accessories&hash=item4ced5a5ea2 but still have not receive it.
I had order http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/EW-73B-Lens-Hood-Canon-EF-S-17-85mm-EW73B-73B-US-/320393464097?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_216&hash=item4a98f04921 for my EF-S 18-135mm IS lens.
BTW do look for Bayonet mount Lens Hood. Not those using screw one. Else you might not be able to cover the len cap.

the hoods u linked are dam small.. dun see the point in using them. also if u get bigger versions they look rather overkill on such a small lens
xia mi lens hook???
LOL! I find this extremely funny...
Is it small? There are many design in the eBay.
Anyway those I listed are design to be "similar (if not the same)" to the original canon lens hood intend for the respective lens listed. For me, so long it is cheap and serve the purpose..
Hi everyone!
I've joined th3 550D about slightly more than a month ago and have been testing out the camera and still learning. Also, i've been reading on the 550D thread and have realised there's a few things i still need to get. I've ordered GGS screen protector from monstercamera and will be collecting tomorrow (can't wait for mailing) haha.
I've also realised my 18 - 135mm lens is not very good at taking close up shots of people. Not very sharp. Do you guys recommend that i get the canon EF 50mm f1/8 lens? I've heard many of you are using it. I'm thinking of going to Alan Photo tomorrow to take a look after collecting my GGS screen protector.
Also, i think i need to get a dry box/dry cabinet also but have no idea which to get. Is there a dry box available that i could adjust the humidity? So far, i've also been searching for lens hood for my 18 -135mm lens but can't find any.
Also, for tripod, as i will be going for a 2 week long europe trip in sept, i was thinking of carrying a tripod with me but have no idea what kinda tripod to get. Probably one that could fit into my 6 million dollar bag from crumpler?
Thanks in advance for your help! =)

Dry box can get from AP/NTUC/MSC for $23.90.Dry cab most shops have.If you've bothered to search mass sales there are a few sellers selling lens hood for the 18-135.
How to fit a tripod into a 6MDH?6MDH is quite small you know...
Thanks for your help!! sorry i didn't look through mass sales in this forum but was looking around online (googling) and monstercamera. Thanks for the advice.
As for the tripod, yes was thinking about that as well. Was thinking how am i going to lug a tripod around when i'm traveling europe.

Just a heads up for those interested in the 580EX II flash.
I'm doing a MO for myself and the more people join, the cheaper

I think there are more advertisers in mass sales selling the hood other than MMC
Oh ok thanks! today i went to ask around at SLS but the hood is @ $30+ so didn't buy it. think such stuff i have to buy online.
Thanks for the heads up! Will look around online and at bugis!
Btw, i finally bought my dry cabinet @ $110 for 30L capacity.
Oh oh!! and i bought the EF 50mm f1/8 II too today! Very happy! Quite like the effect for the lens! Looking forward to using it in my trip next week!
