I'm looking for a replacement for the lens hood that comes with the XF35 f2 lens. The one in the box is a wee bit small and the official accessory hood is a bit dear so I was wondering what alternatives were out there. Has anyone bought an alternative to the LH-XF35-2?

I use the little screw hood from my Voight 40/1.4 but the supplied lens hood also worked well for me.

The one that comes with the lens is truly a throw-away and I've never said that about any other Fuji product. To me, the LH-XF35-2 was worth it because it utilizes the bayonet mount. Plenty of other screw-in alternatives on ebay and amazon, but they are screw in so they mount into the filter, if you use one.

I chose to go with LH-XF35-2. Ebay screw-in one will add unnecessary length to the lens/camera, and doesn't look nice neither as the lens has very tapering profile IMHO. If you use X-Pro1/2, then being able to align the slit is also a nice to have. I got a like-new one via Amazon used/warehouse deal for about $10 less than MSRP.

I didn't know there was a warehouse/used on Amazon. I'll check it out.

ok, sounds like the Fuji one is the one to go for. I did see one on eBay but the review wasn't good. Cheers
