Steve Ris Posted April 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 30, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone. Just bought an X Vario and I normally use a lens hood. I can't find any of the original or JJC replacement 18774 available anywhere. Does anyone have any experience of other hoods at all? I was wondering if the LX100/D-Lux hood would work without vignetting for example. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Ris Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted April 30, 2020 Merci pour la réponse, Guytou. Je vais essayer le B+W en caoutchouc pour le moment. Pas si chic, mais beaucoup moins cher! https://www.manfrotto.com/uk-en/bwfilters/900-collapsible-rubber-lens-hood-43-bw69586/ Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
