I went to 58mm based on a suggestion by forum member Ben.

Works perfectly. I always use a lens cap.

I`m sure your 58mm works just fine but my choice of 53mm was to keep the gain in size at a minimum. I thought it was the best compromise.

My apologies. In retrospect I have to admit that Ben`s suggestion is the better one. My setup (with the flared hood) is significantly larger . I have since adopted the same (as your,s and Ben,s) 43-58mm step up ring coupled to a 58mm hood (non flared).  The outer diameter of the hood is no larger than that of the 16-50 kit lens.
