Designed for EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM
The Canon EW-88C lens hood is built specifically for the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens. It matches the lens profile to block stray light at every focal length from 24 to 70 mm. Photographers who shoot with this zoom gain a dedicated shield that stays aligned throughout the range.
Reduces flare and guards the front element
The hood cuts unwanted rays that cause reflections and flare, helping preserve contrast and colour fidelity. Its rigid body also keeps moisture and wind-blown debris off the glass and absorbs knocks against walls or door frames during active use.
Bayonet mount adds no filter-thread bulk
The accessory locks onto the lens via its dedicated bayonet, leaving the front filter thread free for circular polarisers or protective filters. It stores in reverse on the barrel for transport, adding minimal length to the kit bag.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the EW-88C hood to the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and what step do people miss?
Align the hood's mounting index with the red dot on the lens barrel, then rotate clockwise until it clicks; the step users skip is fully seating the bayonet lugs so the hood cannot rotate loose.
What part of the EW-88C will need replacement first with regular use?
The internal flocking that absorbs stray light can wear thin after repeated mounting cycles, and the bayonet release button may lose spring tension; both are field-replaceable by ordering a new EW-88C unit.
At what focal length does vignetting appear first when the EW-88C is mounted on the 24-70mm f/2.8L II?
Vignetting shows at the 24 mm wide end on full-frame sensors if the hood is rotated off-axis; keeping the alignment mark centred eliminates the issue across the entire zoom range.
