Design and Build Quality

The Haoge Lens Hood Metal Square Bayonet for Fujifilm XF35mmF2 R WR, XF23mmF2 R WR XC 35mm F2, Fuji 35mm F2, 23mm F2 Lens Hood, with Metal Front Cap features a sleek and stylish design that complements the look of my Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2 R WR and Fuji XF 23mm f/2 R WR lens. The square metal lens hood is super easy to attach to the lens via its bayonet-mount and provides additional protection to the camera and lens from accidental scratches.

The new version of the lens hood comes with a metal cover, which is a considerable upgrade from the previous version that had a plastic cover. The metal cover features a bayonet mount that fits perfectly with the lens hood, making it much easier to put on and take off. The metal front cap adds a layer of protection for the lens and is an excellent addition to the overall build quality.

Lens Protection

One of the primary purposes of a lens hood is to protect the lens from accidental scratches, dust, and other contaminants. The Haoge Lens Hood does an excellent job of shielding the lens from these elements. Additionally, it prevents or limits lens flare, improving contrast and image quality. The hood shades the lens from any stray light that may interfere with your photos, making it an ideal accessory for outdoor photography.

Image Quality

Apart from lens protection, the Haoge Lens Hood also helps improve image quality. The hood reduces or eliminates the amount of glare that enters the lens, especially when shooting outside. This glare can result in washed-out images or produce color fringes, but with the hood in place, the amount of glare is significantly reduced, resulting in sharper and more vibrant photos.
