ellz90 Posted May 27, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 27, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) So, I'm investing in a 43 mm B+W MRC nano XS PRO filter for my dlux109 and am considering getting this JJC lens hood since it's the only (?) possible option according to my dealer but neither of us is really sure whether the lens hood would be compatible when I have the filter in already..anyone has this combi already? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StS Posted May 30, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 30, 2015 I do not have this combination, however, there appears to be no suitable lens hood at the moment for the 109/LX100. Asking for a suitable lens hood at Yodobashi and BIC, I have been offered quite a choice but all available 43mm lens hoods cause vignetting in the widest angle setting, even without filter. It is time that Leica/Panasonic offer a solution by themselves. This appears to be a solvable issue to me. Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyj Posted June 1, 2015 Share #3 Posted June 1, 2015 Currently I'm using the X-Vario 43 mm lens hood with the Type 109 without vignetting. I tried the thin B&W filter but its deep enough to cause slight vignetting at the 24mm position. The vignetting goes away at the 28mm setting.

Nooo. heard so many positive comments about it and finally decided to get one. I will receive it today and will try it out then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really in urgent need of it anyway. But seems that other leica 43mm version hood works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhsimmonds Posted June 1, 2015 Share #6 Posted June 1, 2015 The auto lens cap provides an adequate lens hood when in the open position. The 3mm B&W UV filter won't work with it though, but Cokin do a 43mm super slim filter that will.........if you can get hold of one as they are not so easy to come by!

Cokin was my first choice but I didn't see it anywhere in the store, not even online, either not in stock or just doesn't exist.... No progress after waiting for a month, so opted for this B&W. You got one from Cokin? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhsimmonds Posted June 10, 2015 Share #10 Posted June 10, 2015 Try cameranu.nl at euro34.95. Ordered it from Camera NL and it fits a treat. The auto lens hood/cap works beautifully with it. Thanks for the source tip, the service was superb although delivery charge by courier from Holland is a bit steep! But worth it in my opinion.

Arie Intveld Posted June 13, 2015 Share #12 Posted June 13, 2015 The JJC auto lens cap you want is the deeper one (ALC-LX100). I purchased mine through Amazon. This lens cap works perfectly with the B+W 43mm XS-PRO Digital MRC NANO Clear Filter #1073871. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
