my chinese copy adapter and hood have arrived...the hood on the adapter was a bit too loose for my liking so i add a touch of glue to each tab...stuck on good now!!

Really like the wrist strap . . . where did it come from?
 
Joe,
Sweet! Well done.

By the way, for others that may buy the non-OEM adapter and hood, I found that simply putting a tiny bit of gaffer's tape on one of the adapter lugs makes the hood fit perfectly snug... no looseness at all.

I have the 'clone' and a less drastic fix is to gently squeeze the slits on the hood and this tightens up the fit such that you can still remove it.

^ I have done the same method of tightening up the slop/fitment on a couple X100(s) owned by family/friends.

* Gently Squeeze tab/bar towards the end of the hood at each lug slit inwards towards the hood. Sloppy fit made perfect on these generic hood/adapter copies.

I just got my too expensive official Fuji hood and adapter today. it fits tight, looks good, just one thing I didn't think of, it prevents use of lens cap. oh well - it does look cool and that's the whole point, right ?

If you want to use a lens cap I have found that you can generally buy one (Tamaron are good for this) that will clip to the installed hood. I do this with some of my Leica lenses and it works well.
 
Here's mine 😀

The half case (comes with attachable top) is a chinese knockoff but looks nice and feels great. Only cost me $20

The soft release I found on an old SLR at a thrift shop. Feels/looks great on the Fuji.

Lens Hood is official

Now all I need is a Thumbs Up 😛
