The squarehood square hood for my Fuji 23 2.8 pancake lens came today. I have decided to send it back as I prefer the simple round OEM lens shade on the pancake lens. I thought I would like the squarehood, but don't.
One of the things I like about the 27mm f/2.8 — and I think it is the same on the 23mm f/2.8 — is how small that little round hood is. I barely realize that it is on the lens.
I like the square hood on my 35mm f/1.4, and I keep it on the lens almost all the time, despite having lost the cap and now attaching the regular lens cap inside the hood. (Tricky but you can do it.)
I liked the square hood on the old 23mm f/1.4… but I lost the push-on cap for than one, too, and the hood is relatively large. I’ve gone back to generally shooting it without the hood, and only attaching it when I think conditions warrant.
