Hood Fuji Helpful Article

May 19, 2010 lenses No comments

I have a lens with a 58mm thread for filters and, in theory, this hood. The hood is made out of plastic. I was very careful to thread it on to my lens, but it did not stay on. Useless as a lens hood. Depending on where your focus is, you can see the sides of the hood. And, as I mentioned before, it falls off.

However, it makes a very good beer can stabilizer. For that one redeeming quality, I can give it one (1) star.

Help answer the question about Hood Fuji
Should I use the 55mm lenses or the 58mm on my Fujifilm s7000?
I've started an Imaging company and am buying equipment for my dSLR camera. So far I have the fuji adaptor, and a rubber hood that lets me use up to a 58mm. The fuji uses a 55mm stock. Would it be better to go bigger? I'm worried I may be taking some range out of the picture by using the 55mm with it extended so much. Im a newb, I know, but any help is appreciated.I guess it Hood Fuji isn't single lens. More of a prosumer cam, but it does fine for what I'm doing. Most images will not be bigger than an 8x10. I have more equipment than this with higher MPs as well. I just want to make sure I wont shoot myself in the foot by getting 55mm instead of 58mm. It's screw on lenses but I think it will do fine for the moment. Thanks for the help!I'm just wanting to get a 3x telephoto, .5 wide angle, and some filters. It doesn't have to be perfect. Most of what my company does is on the computer, and most photos will go on the web, or be shrunk down a lot. There's only a few applications where a big print will be needed.The s7000 takes pretty good pictures.
