Capture Brilliance 📸 - Your lens's new best friend!
The Haoge LH-X54B Square Metal Lens Hood is expertly crafted for Fujifilm X100V and X100VI cameras, featuring a non-glare matte finish that effectively blocks stray light and reflections. It allows for the seamless attachment of the original lens cap and does not interfere with the use of 49mm UV filters, making it an essential accessory for any serious photographer.

Good lens shade, and Looks Good
Screws on tightly and protect the lens well. I've seen seen drawback in using it even in low light and it looks cool on the camera. I like it

Perfect
I bought another brand initially and returned it. I decided to give this one a try, but didn’t have high hopes. It ended up working perfectly and I can still use a protective UV filter with it.

Adaptability
Adapter ring and hood, are great replacement parts. Although not mentioned in the ad, both pieces fit my FUJI X100Fperfectly, probably work with any FUJI 23mm lens.

Good Quality -
I couldn't decide between the YC Onion and Haoge hoods. YC Onion comes with a cap, which I like, and Haoge is a popular choice for x100v, however there is no cap and the original does not fit properly, but it looks nicer. I couldn't decide, so I purchased both. This is my experience with both on my x100v.The YC Onion is absolutely a terrible quality lens hood. In comparison to the Haoge, the material felt very cheap. Haoge's hood felt premium and worth the price, whereas YC felt incredibly cheap. And 65.99? For that?! If I accidentally drop my camera, I'm more assured that Haoge will take the hit.Haoge has alignment issues/concerns, but they are nothing compared to the YC. The alignment on YC is horrible. YC will not stop spinning and will not tighten even slightly, no matter how much I turn it. Haoge tightened without any problems. The alignment on Haoge was not the best, but with some patience, I was able to get it to the right spot. YC does not come with a rubber ring, whereas Haoge includes one as well as an extra backup.The YC lens cap is absolutely garbage. I was impressed at first, but after a few times of taking it off and putting it back on, the rubber on the side begins to peel, preventing you from fully closing it. And it gets worse every time you take off and put on the hood. And whatever glue they use on that rubber is ineffective. Another thing I'd like to bring out is that the YC hood's edges are rather sharp in comparison to Haoge. If handled incorrectly, it's possible that I will cut my finger, similar to a paper cut. Haoge's edges are smooth and pleasant to the touch.After testing both out, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the YC Onion. I immediately returned it and kept the Haoge. I bought a cap from Haoge that fits their hood which was 10 bucks, and it fits perfectly, and the quality is much better. Haoge hood with their cap were still significantly cheaper than YC onion. From personal experience, I do not recommend the YC onion brand since the quality is poor and price is high for the quality. (I'm not surprised that this is a frequently returned item.) Both are not cheap, but Haoge quality is just better for the price. Everyone's experience may differ, but I'd want to share mine with you.

Stylish Addition with a Minor Quirk
I recently picked up this lens hood for my Fujifilm X100V, even though I didn’t necessarily need it, and I have to say, it looks incredibly sleek on the camera. The metal construction feels like great quality, adding a touch of sophistication and durability to my setup.I did encounter a minor challenge when aligning it correctly. Initially, I had to unscrew and screw it back on a couple of times before realizing I needed to keep turning it until it locked into place properly. Once I figured that out, it wasn’t an issue anymore, but it did take a bit of patience at first.One thing to note is that if someone plans to frequently remove and reattach the hood, the rubber ring might wear out quickly. This could be a concern for those who like to switch between using the hood and not. Despite this, the overall build and aesthetic appeal make it a worthwhile addition to my camera.

VERY DANGEROUS
The media could not be loaded. I have been using the x100 series since the first model which I bought in 2012. Having bought the V generation, I decided that it was time to stop using square hoods, which only add style and a lot of inconvenience, and even side light and glare they remove worse than a round closed-type hood, there are a couple of models on the market. But the sense of style won me over again and I decided to buy a square hood. Of the compact square hoods that do not increase the diameter of the lens in the corners (round closer to the camera and beveled in the corners into a rectangle), until recently there were only 3 options on the market made of aluminum (Haoge, Squarehood, YC Onion), plastic UN49 from a Japanese manufacturer, and only a couple of weeks ago the fourth option from Freewell was released, also made of aluminum with a built-in MIST + CPL filter. Having studied the market, I opted for Haoge. I expected that problems with this hood could only be in the alignment part, since many users write that it is very difficult to align it horizontally. But the problem came where you wouldn't expect it. I'm really SHOCKED! The adapter screwed into the lens and which is part of the hood, screws into the camera lens by about 1/8 turn, making this accessory a very dangerous addition to your expensive camera. With a very fine thread pitch, any accidental small impact will knock out the hood and strip the threads on your lens, which is non-removable and part of the camera. Thus, this device, instead of protecting your lens, only exposes it to an even greater risk - to break the entire camera. This is the worst accessory in all 12 years that I have had experience with X100 series cameras. But I am also surprised by something else. How come hundreds and thousands of bloggers consider this accessory to be of high quality?! The rating of this hood is almost 4.5 stars. SERIOUSLY? Guys, don't you have the basic knowledge to understand that screwing in 1/8 of a thread is very, very unreliable, risky, and of course, it's a mistake by the engineers who designed this GARBAGE. I advise everyone who uses this hood to throw it away and buy something more reliable.
