ProOptic 62mm Metal Lens Hood

I like using this well made hood on my 23mm f1.4 and 56mm f1.2 Fujifilm lenses instead of the plastic "tulip" stock hood. I just keep this screw-on hood in place and use a 67mm lens cap that fits snugly on the end of the hood. There is no need to remove and or reverse the stock hood.

These hoods are well built and have nice retro look. I replaced a ridiculously long plastic hood that came with my Fuji 56mm f/1.2 lens. I also bought a Pro-Optic metal screw-on lens cap for this set-up. The lens takes 62mm thread for the hood. The outer end of the hood is also threaded with 67mm, so I bought the lens cap with 67mm to put it on the end of the hood. For all these metal hoods, they should specify the outer thread size in addition to the one on the lens. That way, you wouldn't have to guess which cap to buy if you are trying to do what I did.

Works great on the Fuji 55-200. How I can just put the hood in my pocket and carry the over size hood the lens can with.
