This is both the hood and the minimal hood in a single print at a lower price. See the other individual items for descriptions and full instructions. When you order this, you get both the minimal and the standard hood.
Does not work with a cap. Does not interfere with OVF (See photo). Requires a 49 mm empty filter ring to use as a spacer! Failure to use a spacer WILL cause the x100 lens assembly to collide with the hood and may DAMAGE THE CAMERA. Never put the hood on without the spacer. Never put a filter ring with glass in it directly on the camera. Empty filter rings only! Simple order of assembly: Camera->Empty Filter Ring->Hood->Original Trim Ring. - Buy an empty filter ring (search for "49mm Empty Filter Ring (Non-Rotation)" like this one: http://www.camera-filters.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=592&products_id=7664
- Thread the empty filter ring (spacer) on the x100.
- Switch to manual focus.
- Turn the focus so the lens is as far out as possible (focused full macro).
- VERIFY THAT LENS DOES NOT GO PAST THE END OF THE SPACER. IF IT DOES YOUR SPACER IS TOO SHORT. GO BACK TO STEP 1. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to make sure that the lens is really as far out as it goes and that the hood isn't going to hit it when you put it on the spacer.
- Gently place the Hood on the spacer.
- MAKE SURE THE HOOD ISN'T TOUCHING THE LENS.
- Add the trim ring to hold the hood in place
