Referring to my comment in NikLG's post (Filter for the X10), I have just received my generic hood from China.

It seems to be an exact replica of the Fuji hood, and is good quality with a matt black finish. It's packaged under the name JJC with model No. LH-JX10....a google search with that model No. brings up a load of results, with prices around £25 including postage.

(If you happen to have the X100 as well (!) a search with LH-JX100 brings up prices as low as £7.00!)

Happy Shopping.

I know I'm not a Group member but I'm interested to hear how you X10 owners are getting on with it. Do you still love it? Any bugs?
Now the price is coming down I'm still wondering whether to or not.

Hood and filter adapter has not arrived yet, but I received the soft release in the post today



Ok its Leica branded but including postage from the US it was still cheaper than these.

Quote: Still debating wether to get a soft release or not. Does help in anyway or just look cool ?

They say you can gain about a stop in low light hand held.

Adds comfort.

And makes the button easier to find when looking through the viewfinder.

Looking cool does not come in to it

I quite fancy this lens-cap ebay link - but can't decide if I'd feel like a bit of a twit or not......

I doubt I'll buy it

Ah I've plans to buy a proper IR converted camera soon so I don't need to worry about that. I might consider other filters though but don't plan to think about that tonight

I won't be buying the cap though - neat idea but unnecessary as long as I've got a pocket to put the original cap into!

If I worried about people staring at me I'd not stand in the middle of town turning full circles using the panorama setting I pretty much don't care anymore

I gather it simply slots over the lens and is held on by grippy stuff so I doubt it would do any harm.

I've got other things to spend my money on though - my jeans pocket is a safe place for the current cap
