[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a lens and a camera where I use a step up ring in order to use a lens hood - the Canon 50mm f1.4 in LTM mount, as well as the Fuji X100S. The advantage of attaching a step up ring for this purpose is that the world of inexpensive, generic lens hoods opens up.
