I feel like an idiot but I know someone will help: how do I get the lens hood on? It doesn't seem to fit, not snapping on or threading on. Thanks

Hi Christine, There is a ring on the top of the lens, you have to remove it to place the Hood. Best Juan

The paperwork with the lens kit says to extend the lense and screw on the filter. Although I am not an engineer, that sounded like a prescription to break either the threads on the lense/filter or break the camera, so I declined the attempt. I contacted the company and was told "We shipped what you ordered" so I gave them a bad rating and will not do business with them again.

Theres a ring that comes off. Its been a while since ive used mine but you may need to screw on ring to lens first then add the lens adapter. Or try with out the ring? Also it only fitd on my kit lens. Check thread size

Make certain you have the correct millimeter size lens your new hood will fit on...as there are different sizes. You should find this info on either the outside edge or inside the lens.

Hi. Looking at the close-ups on Amazon of your camera I can not see if there are any threads to hold the hood in place. Are there threads on the inside lip of your camera?

As do I. Oddly enough, my lens didn't come with a hood. Weird. I never knew it was supposed to.

There's a ring around the x100s lens, you need to unscrew it and then you can screw the lens hood on.

I second guessed myself as well in the beginning. The lens has a pretty long manual throw. i.e. it takes some big turns to get things into focus manually. Keep trying and it should eventually get things into focus.

Thanks here too. Pulled on the lens. Worked first time, then got another error next on/off. Tried a few more times. So far so good now.

Well from what the companies says...it's not suppose to be hard...but it takes a while to get it right...and in my case..the hood once reveresd over the lens...it started rubbing up against the lens it self...and that made to focusing take even longer....and I bet after a while it will mess with the look of the lens by so much rubbing.

On all of the canons I have owned it works this way:There should be a rubber piece around the eyepiece. It usually slips off by pushing it up. Take that piece off and slip this lens in its place. You won't need the rubber piece anymore.

My Canon-mount version also came with a hood, and the lens-cap (72mm) was for that. With the hood removed, I tried filter adapter rings on the lens, and found that 55mm seemed to be what fit -- so a lens cap for the lens itself should be 55mm.

If the lens doesn't retract all the way, slide a piece of paper in between the lens barrels. Try turning it on. This fixed mine tonight. I think the lens wasn't seated properly.Don't do this unless you are sure it's out of warranty.

well my hood will not take a cheater lens. 2x4 is too big and thick. I guess I could glue one on but not convenient to clean that way.

You would need take out the front plastic cover. The one around the lens by twisting it to the left. So push and twist it off. Replace that with your plastic adapter and then screw your lens in.. There are 2 dots you need to align and twist to the right. I hope this helps..

As far as I know, there is no threading, at least in the one I got about three years ago. The outside diameter is about 69mm, and it has no threads. I saw a mod by a German guy on YouTube and I did the same. I bought a 72mm rubber lens hood, removed the rubber part and kept the plastic ring. Then I wrapped some electrician's tape around the lens, so I could fit the&#65279; plastic ring on it without any glue: I just pressed and turned the ring, and it got stuck pretty tightly. Now I can use a 72mm UV or polarizing filter.&#65279;
