Do any of you use the Squarehood brand square hood on your Fuji lens? I ordered a JJC square hood for my Fuji 23/2.8 pancake lens, but when it arrived I found it did not work well when using a UV filter as the hood mounted on the outside of the filter which made it protrude further out than I liked..
I like the looks of the Squarehood brand square hood on the photo they show on their website mounted on the Fumi 23/2.8 pancake. However, I wonder about mounting a UV filter inside of the square hood. Thanks for sharing your experience.
The metal hood that comes with the Fuji 27mm f2.8 can accept a UV filter internally. You have to unscrew the hood from the attached mount with the small screwdriver that comes with it. A UV filter can then be screwed into the mounting ring and the hood reassembled.
The Squarehood mounting seems way too complicated. You need a separate mounting ring and a screwdriver to loosen 2 tiny screws attaching the hood to the ring (screws were missing with @gaopa order) and then mount the filter under the hood and rescrew the hood in place? If you want to change the filter you have to go through this again? I use ND's and a circular polarizer a lot, sometimes together, so this mounting system would not work for me as I could see myself losing the tiny screws while making filter changes in the field.
I like the Haoge square hood much better, the one for my 23 & 35 f2 silver Fujicrons, #LH-X35S same hood for both (stock photo below) attaches with a simple quarter twist via the lens bayonet mount. No mounting ring, screwdriver or tiny screws needed You can use the standard Fujifilm pinch cap for protection and easy to change filters as you don't have to take the Hood off, but you can with a simple quarter twist. Plus it only cost $32 for my metal silver square version and it matches the lens finish exactly. Haoge also has a vented round metal hood that mounts the same way, it's $25.
