My cheap lens hood came today. I tried it on my Zeiss 24 that has a b+w UV MC filter on it. The hood screws onto the filter just swell. Unfortunately the lens cap wouldn't really work with the lens hood. But I can place the lens cap on the end and it stay and seems to be snug, but it's certainly not correct so I suspect it could pop off unknowingly. I took a picture and I do not notice any vignetting with the filter and lens hood screwed together, but that's not a good test for the RX1. The hood is metal and seems well made.

I nearly picked up the B+W Slim MRC UV filter at B&H today. Good thing I thought to examine it first. It actually came with some Scheider plastic lens cap in the box! I had forgotten that a slim filter would make the nice Sony cap inoperative, so I got the standard profile version of the same UV filter. Probably should have done more research first and picked up the nano coated clear filter.

Anyone out there buy the original hood?
