Lens cap & lens hood woes

[milandro]

the sling doesn’t even come attached to the lens , I have never used it. The caps are excellent.

 

The Fuji lens caps don’t come off  but they are a pain to operate compared to this. The 35mm1.4. rubber lens cap has a life of its own.

The stock Fuji lens caps are shockingly bad. I toss 'em in a box for emergencies/resale. Love cheap ($3) "Sensei" replacement caps from B&H. I keep the metal hoods on the 18/2 & 35/1.4 use Optech soft caps over the hoods. Still have one of the silly rubber ones left. Toss 'em in the same box as the other other caps. My favorite Fuji tip is that the metal hood from the 35/1.4 works perfectly in place of the giant metal hood provided with the 60/2.4 - that metal hood might be better used as mounting for a ring light. I kind of miss the days when one carried a set of 52mm filters and a few hoods and you were covered from 20mm to 200m.
