I have the above lens with my M8.
I notice that most pictures I see of M cameras, including M8, they don't have lens hood on. But, every M camera I see in demo, always has lens hood on.
One of the reason I ventured into M8 is for its compactness. I really like the compactness of M8 with 28/2.8ASPH with regular lens cap. In sunny environment, is the hood a must for 28mm? In D/SLR world, I always used lens hood (needed or not). It worked as protection if for nothing else and it did not really make the gear any bigger.
But, on M8, the lens hood actualy makes camera bigger. Anyway, it may sound like weird and obvious question, but I just wanted to know how you expereced M folks deal with lens hood. My guess is use it.
Currently, I using the normal cap since sun is not around and not going to be around for few more months around here.
I guess I have wishful thinking that I get the answer don't need to use it
Thank you.
