Mounts on the bayonet. Very good feel and fit. I got this to make a fluid switch between the hood and the UWA 075 wide angle adapter, which at the moment is under a professional service to modify it to fit the RX1 perfectly (instead of the DIY solution on another thread)
3rd: Zeiss Flektogon 35mm hood with 49mm thread at the back.
Just tried my FE35/2.8 hood on my RX1R and it fits perfect! It's probably the smallest hood that fits well with the compact dimensions of the RX1 series.
It's also perfect for quick change over with the SEL075UWC 0.75x wide converter as it connects via the bayonet fitting!

I use the FE35/2.8 hood too. Strangely it doesn't seem to be widespread among Rx1 users. To avoid vignetting you have to grind the opening a bit to match the larger front lens of the RX1 vs FE35.

I liked that idea because of the compact nature of the hood but the DYI aspect of it and the potential of coming up with a wonky rectangle at the end of the process made me stir away from trying (even more so at the cost of the hood itself)

Didn't notice the vignetting as my test shots were at f/5.6.
Just did some shots at f/2.0 and I do now see some vignetting compared to without the hood but it's not that bad.. I must admit I mainly shoot landscape at f/5.6 or smaller where it doesn't seem noticable.

I think I can guess what's happening:
FE 35mm 2.8 must be a more "real" 35mm in it's genuine FOV or slightly narrower (36mm?)
The RX1 Sonnar is more like 32mm (35mm once you correct for distortion) so, perhaps, if you were to crop/correct to it's intended focal length you may find no vignetting?
That theory of course goes out the window if you have corrections in camere ON.

Just did a quick non scientific hand held test shot stood in the same spot with both RX1R & FE35/2.8 and the RX1R (even with profile correction) is noticably wider!

...mmm
Someone, in the early days of the RX1, had a set of images comparing the RX1 to other 35mm (CV, Leica, Zeiss) and concluded that the RX1 was a bit wider without correction, but about right with correction compared to the other 2 lenses.
I wonder if maybe the 35mm 2.8 FE is then narrower than the classic 35? hence the large difference we see?
Sootyvrs, when you say "profile corrections", you mean Lr/ACR profiles or the camera's own?

It's been a while, but I seem to remember that the RX1 was closer to 31mm without correction, and 33mm with correction. 35mm is already on the wide side for me, so that drove me a little crazy.
Essentially the same as the Sony version, but metal instead of plastic. It uses a 30.5 lens cap. Available in Black too, although I'm not finding it just now. It may vignette on the f/2.0 RX1

I bought the RX1RII yesterday. Good to see how Sony fixed so many things that I disliked on my original RX1!
Have any of you noticed that the shutter button is also slightly different now? The one on the RII is sitting lower inside of the power toggle switch. On the first RX1 the actual shutter release was at the same height as the power switch. On the RII that's the half press. You then need to push it into the power switch to release the shutter. Maybe Sony did this because of the draining of the battery when the shutter button got pushed in inside of a bag. I now can't use the same soft release button, because it only gets to the half press.
Not an issue at all, just a small difference that I hadn't seen mentioned on the web before.

I'm getting sick and tired of all this faulty gear on the market. After very recently getting 2 decentered 21mm loxias in a row now also my new RX1RII is decentered. Shooting something like a wall already shows that the top right corner is soft. This is getting so frustrating. It seems like 42MP is just too much to keep alignment tolerances tight. It's one big lottery.
