Frank,
Thanks for the offer, but I am confident that the hood will be OK. As I
posted to Scharf-DCA, I can see the difference in the two hoods, but the
only drawback would be that the E-bay hood would provide a little less
shielding than the Canon hood.
I know that Canon probably adequately tested the 83E, but since I cannot
find anyone who has this hood, I am wondering if they might have stopped
production in order to re-design it due to some flaw. I have used several
search engines and can find no one who has the Canon hood. .
