The Canon ET-87 Lens Hood is the dedicated bayonet-mount hood engineered specifically for the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens, ensuring a precise, secure fit every time. Designed and manufactured by Canon to match their professional L-series glass, it integrates seamlessly without vignetting or interference.
By shading the front element from stray, extraneous light, the ET-87 actively prevents lens flare and ghosting, helping you capture images with greater contrast, richer colours, and cleaner shadows — exactly what demanding photographers expect from Canon L-series glass.
