Has anyone found a high quality replacement lens hood for the new 50mm f2.0 lens? It's a great lens but as usual the lens hood is rather cheap plastic. I've got the expensive Fuji metal hood for the 50 and 23mm f2.0 lenses but it won't fit the 50mm. Any ideas?

Thanks Mike. I also looked and couldn't find one either. Perhaps Fuji wants to take my money for a metal one like they did for the 23 and 35mm. It's a better hood than the JJC versions because it uses the bayonet fitting on the outside of the lens (the JJC ones are screw-in, I think). The 50mm also has bayonet lugs so Fuji could make one if they wanted.

there are vented hoods of a ø 43mm on ebay for a pittance and they would fit both the 50 and the 35mm

this one said to be for Nikon S will probably fit well the 50mm

Mr T, I have a JJC square metal lens hood for the 23mm 1.4 and it does bayonet on, the feel and quality are very similar to the Fuji offering but half the price, it also fits the 56mm 1.2 as well!

you can easily use a step up ring from 43 to 46 ø

 

But there are 46mm lens hoods too (it’s all there and costs peanuts!) lots of them (many more than I am quoting here).

Thanks, they look perfect and a lot cheaper than Fuji!

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
