Does anyone use a lens cap on this hood? If so what size, type, etc.? thanks.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but will answer as best I can. If you reverse the hood and twist it on, it should fit on the lens and you can put a lens cap on the lens. I always put my lens cap on first and then put the hood on the lens afterwards, but, yes you can put the hood on the lens and then cap it.

The hood should not interfere with the normal lens cap. At least it doesn't on mine. I am able to use the cap that came with the lens.

There is not a lens cap that fits the larger open end of this hood that I know of. We have to slide the cap inside to take it on and off. You can twist the hood off and on without interfering with the lens cap when putting the camera back into a bag for example.

FYI: I've never bought a lens that didn't come with a front & rear lens cap, and I believe every lens made ships with both. Oddly enough, some Canon lenses do not come with hoods, though this one does.

No issues here of any kind when using this hood. I also have a 49mm B+W filter always mounted on it, since I don't use the lens cap. No issues.

I think I know what you are looking for. This is something that I have not researched. I have one on my Sony. There is a lens cap, but one for the camera in use...not sure. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I have a D3100 kit and no the hood did not come with it. I did purchase one from Amazon after reading on their site that it would fit a D3100. The hood "does not" fit any of my lens.

It should come with a lens hood, at least mine did. Check the Richo web site for a list of authorized dealers. Amazon is one but many dealers are not.

Yes, the pliable hood comes with a metallic rim that is threaded on both sides of the rim. You simply screw the hood onto the camera lens, then screw the lens cap onto the hood.

Yes, you can use your lens cap and hood. The filter has threads to grip the lens cap or you can even stack an additional filter. Keep in mind that you will need to remove the filter to compose and focus. You can't see anything at all through the filter. It is very dark.

I don't think a lenscap is necessary since the filter and parasoley is already providing an enough protection for the lens. I don't use any and never had a problem. I hope this helps...

Not certain of the FUJI camera. I checked the FUJI site and found no info about a lens cap for your camera. If you can ascertain certain things about your camera it may give you more information as to whether to purchase the item. First, does/did your camera ever have a lens cap? If so, do/did you know its dimension in millimeters (mm)? Second, look into the front of the lens and see if there are any fine threads in the rim just in front of the lens (lines in the metal rim just forward of the glass). Third, and easiest, ask a friend, who has a camera with various sizes of lenses and caps, to try them on your camera. Fourth, visit a camera store in your area and ask their advice. I did purchase those caps you were asking about and found them to be very good. I hope I have been some help. Good luck and take lots of pictures!!!

I used the hood to protect the front element as I didn't like running a UV filter. You can find the hood on eBay (not Sony brand) for less than 150. They even have rangefinder leica style hoods

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.

this is the only thing u need. i attach my 52mm hood to it. But u first need to remove the ring around the camera (that is on by default that comes with the camera) then attach this to it. Hope that helps. It also means u cannot use the camera lens cap that came with it.

I don't use a UV filter, I use this hood after I take the lens cap off so I don't accidentally touch the lens...

I have a 70-300 on one of my d4's and have no problem fitting it with the lens hood on. The other camera is a d4 with a 24-70 lens.

I use it on my tamron 18-270 and have NO trouble with the lens hood. I like the BW filter so much that I just bought another one for my Tamron 28-75 (67mm for the latter). I think the light transmission is excellent!

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.
