New hood for the XF 23/1.4

[Dogman]

I don't know if anyone has posted this or not.

While on Amazon the other day, I saw a new hood is being introduced this month for the XF 23mm f/1.4. It's called the Fujifilm LH-XF23 Lens Hood. It looks like one of the "squashed can" designs like those used on the 35/1.4 and 18/2.

Seems like most people who love the lens hate the hood that came with it--I know I do. So I pre-ordered it. Amazon says they should be available to ship in less than two weeks. It's probably available from other retailers as well, maybe available in some places right now.

Just go to Amazon.com and ask for the Fujifilm LH-XF23 lens hood.

Or, for those who would rather click than type:

just ordered mine locally...if they have them in toronto then i should have it in a week or 10 days...if not, i really like my vented metal hood and can wait for the new one...😉

Well Amazon still doesn't have them in stock so my pre-order got nowhere. I cancelled and ordered from B&H where it is in stock.

Should be here tomorrow.

how much from b&h?

 

[Dogman]

Price from B&H (in stock) is the same as Amazon is listing for a pre-order--$69.95. Yep, expensive. (But I should be used to it by now.)

That's what I did with my 23 as well. Worked perfectly, and was much better than the petal hood in nearly all respects. Glad Fuji is offering a replacement.
