I replaced the stock lens hood with two Chinese ones. One is slightly taller than the stock one, and I use it in good weather. I use the tallest one when it's windy and raining or snowing outside. It produces very little vignetting; I barely notice it. But the front element is reliably protected from moisture.
A half-bit OT ... just wondering if anyone has ever done a shootout with the Voigt 40 / 1.2 and the Q3 43 APO.
Obviously, there are diff's in application / body vs. price for max aperture, etc. ... but, each of these lenses continue to garner my attention time again and again. Just prompts me to wonder how similar / diff they are ... both, being a couple of winners (not necessarily better / worse). Still kinda wondering how close they are to each other (if anyone has) ... just for interesting / curiosity / fun.
You know when you're falling and everything goes in slow motion as the inevitable comes without any way of being able to stop it? That's me and buying this lens.

Looking at your first picture (curb alignement at the bottom), i did not realised that there was a such pincushion distortion with this lens.

The reviews of this lens reports low wavy pincushion distortion, I noticed on my pictures the issue and hard to correct it even with lens profiles in PS. I think is pronounced in my case because I am using an E mount lens with an adapter on my Nikon Z6.
The picture you mention has a weir lens distortion product of a perspective correction I applied in Photoshop.
