If you screw in a rather long lens hood you apply lots of momentum on the front lens parts when some kind of "sideways forces" appear. If you check out the FUJI metal lens hood for the 60mm macro you'll find a small plastic mount to which the massive metal hood is connected. Exactly this plastic piece once broke and did not do any harm to my lens.<br /><br />All "short ones" are great - with the longer ones one has to consider pro and con.Peter Faulandhttp://www.fauland-photography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5180419015086214260.post-10490645292767966662016-03-12T22:37:23.878+01:002016-03-12T22:37:23.878+01:00FYI, I got the 67mm for my fx18-135 and it vignett...FYI, I got the 67mm for my fx18-135 and it vignettes from the 18mm point to about 26mm.

I use my hat a lot to shield the lens from direct sunlight. I like your article a lot because it talks about alternatives but you ignore the light blocking issue.

The table is very handy so I appreciate all the work you put into it and the accompanying article. As I migrate to the Fuji X system, it will be a great reference for me. I bought some vented hoods from the same vendor for my Olympus 75mm, 45mm, and 25mm lenses. As you probably know already, Olympus is pretty stingy about including lens caps with their lenses so, unlike you, I was starting from square one, sans hoods. I must say, vented hoods look fantastic on retro-styled cameras like the E-M1, E-M5, and our Fuji brethren. Quite frankly, the tulip-style hoods are very un-Fuji-like. Maybe, they contracted out the hood design and manufacturing to a Canikon consultant . . .Bald-Egonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5180419015086214260.post-50664288554368304872015-08-25T18:48:43.680+02:002015-08-25T18:48:43.680+02:00The table was added a while ago.The table was added a while ago.Rene Delbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801589074738767200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5180419015086214260.post-47091280826211899012015-08-25T17:54:43.299+02:002015-08-25T17:54:43.299+02:00Did you ever get a chance to update the table?
