Replacement lens hoods?

[Rod]

Is it possible to buy Fuji lens hoods, not other brands for Fuji? I bought my 18-55 used without a lens hood and I am not satisfied with the one I got for it. Sometimes I see good deals on used lenses and they don't have the hood.

i like to know this as well.  the lens hood on my 23mm is kind loose and sloppy.  it shouldn't bother me, but realistically, it does...

That's a nice lens hood for the 23mm

 

For an origianal lens hood, you might check ebay. Found this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351407830758?clk_rvr_id=846725539374&rmvSB=true

You can get it cheaper made by third party here: http://www.amazon.com/Camkitmate-LH-XF1855-Fujifiml-XF14mm-XF18-55mm/dp/B00XOW66M2/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1433999114&sr=1-3&keywords=XF+18-55+lens+hood

I love vented lens hoods, like this one. I* use models with the appropriate diameters on my 18, 23 and 35mm lenses.

 

Beware : there is (too much) vignetting with this type of hood with the 16mm - better use a wide angle model.

I use the same vented hood which others use for the 35 ( the original is nice but a pain in the neck with its rubber cap forever coming off!).

 

The 60mm macro alternative to its HUGE lens hood required a complex arrangement including a B+W 39mm UV filter used as a spacer (otherwise the lens autofocus malfunctions) and a 39>52 adapter with a short ( normally used for a 35 or 50mm) 2 cm deep, cylindrical, with a front diameter of 58mm where I use a lens cap for this size. Complex but made this lens way more usable.

I know that the Sigma or Tamron (can't recall precisely at this moment) lens hood works on Fuji all fine, a friend confirmed this to me about a month ago but I haven't tested them myself.

If you know what you are looking for there are thousands of cheap alternatives if you only look on aliexpress, miniinthebox, lightinthebox

^{I understand you're looking for an original Fuji lens hood, but you should really consider Nikon's beautiful metal lens hoods. The HN-22 for example fits perfectly on the 23 mm.}

I also find that the Hn-22 works great on the 23.  Also, the HN-23 is perfect for the 56.  Bothe are screw in metal lens hoods which I much prefer to plastic.

I have ordered replacement lens hoods directly from Fuji USA  via telephone.  There prices are not too bad.

What I don't understand is the price of the official Fuji metal hood for the XF16mm. Metal aftermarket hoods typically cost around £15 (English money). The hood Fuji sell for the 16 costs £64. What is it made of - gold or something?

There is not one original fuji made product which isn’t way more expensive than a no logo counterpart.

 

I mean even the modestly priced long ocular at €15 is several times the price of a Chinese no name part for another brand.

 

I suppose that people don’t realize that buying a product made by a world wide company which has a large organization and spends considerable amounts of money in promotion, advertising and management has a cost which wildly exceeds the cost price of the item bought and that ultimately we, the customers, pay for all of that.

 

Did you ever consider the perfume industry when the liquid and the bottle cost almost nothing compared to the selling price?

 

Frankly speaking I am much more puzzled by why would the cost of some independent accessory makers be so incredibly high compared to their unknown counterparts.

 

Why does a lens completely manual and a copy of an ancient design so, not even anything innovative, made by a small company cost an exorbitant amount of money while another company produces a way more advanced and technological new designa t half the price?

Just bought a vented lens hood with a 58mm diameter for my 18-55mm and I have to say using this lens become immediately more enjoyable
