Review: Much nicer than expected. Well finished, fits a 49mm lens cap. - The lens hood is finished much nicer than the product photos have led me to believe. I didn't expect much, especially for the price, but was pleasantly surprised. It's definitely made of aluminum and finished in a smooth satin black anodize. The machining is very clean with no marks or blemishes anywhere. Unlike the product photos, the lens hood thankfully doesn't say "For Leica" anywhere and instead only has a small silver marking of "52mm" which appears to be laser etched into the anodize coating. I used a black permanent marker to black out this marking, but given that it's still etched it's visible through the ink from the right angle. I have the hood fitted permanently to my Fujifilm XF 35mm f/1.4 R lens and it allows me to use a 49mm pinch lens cap while the hood is still attached. For those who have either the Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 or the Fuji XF 18mm f/2.0, you'll know how great of an upgrade this is from the terrible square rubber lens cap and hood combination that comes with the lens. While the shade it provides is likely less than the stock hood, the added protection from bumps and fingerprints is what I was looking for specifically and this lens hood does just that. Unfortunately, your original 52mm lens cap won't fit on the hood. But that's OK because I found a generic brand 49mm lens cap here on desertcart for about $5. I like especially that the vents are very large and that there are a total of 6 vents with small spokes, rather than some of the other brands that have only 3 vents with rather large spokes. This gives the hood a very unique looks and works well on cameras with more classic styling like the Fuji X-Series. I'm personally not much of a filter user but do take note that the hood does not have any additional threading to accept filters.
Review: Steal this lens hood - if it was much cheaper the seller would be paying you to order one... - Excellent lens hood. I purchased one of the tapered hoods and found that it was pretty shallow. Not nearly as deep as the lens hood that came with the XF 35mm 1.4R lens. So, I thought I would take a chance on this hood as it appeared to be about twice as deep as the tapered version. Pretty close to the depth of the stock lens. So, no problems with vignette. I love the lens and the rectangular lens hood is sexy looking. But, installing and removing the lens cap was awkward and required fiddling coming off and going back on. My concern with the stock hood was the lens cap would fall down onto the front element and I felt that there was a high risk of scratching the lens or damaging the coatings. This is the more expensive 35mm and I love the images it produces. The lens cap removal and installation is still a bit fiddly, but it is way better than the stock hood. Honestly, I feel this hood is just as sexy looking as the stock hood. Since it has a wider opening at the front, the lens cap is less likely to damage the front element. This cap is metal as is the stock hood. It feels sturdy and durable. Considering prices on factory hoods like this, I could replace all of my lens hoods (and probably all of yours to boot) for less than the cost of a hood with the Fuji or Leica brand etched on the bell. The ordering experience was positive. The hood was as the seller represented it. It arrived on time in sturdy desertcart shipping materials and was undamaged. It appears to be a well made hood that is likely to serve well for many years - or until I lose it - LOL! And the price at under $10.00 makes it an absolute steal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice lens hood for the Lumix G7 14-42mm kit lens
*by L***G on September 13, 2023*

I needed to get a lens hood to go with the lens that comes with the G7 since one wasn’t included when I bought used. After looking at a few options, I went with this one. The thing I like about this one that you couldn’t get with some of the other third party lens hoods is the metal finish on the hood. There’s one thing to keep in mind: if you’re using a filter on your lens, this lens hood screws into the filter thread on the lens, so if you’re considering this one and want to use a filter, make sure your filter has threads that this lens can screw into. It’s a nice solid fit, but with the wrong filter, you might have trouble using both the hood and the filter. This one is just fine.
