I share your love of the Fuji 60mm f2.4 also your aversion to the silly lens hood. I bought a 3rd party parallel metal screw-in lens hood which comes with a cap for the hood as below. However, if i want to be really compact I use the small rectangular bayonet hood from my Fuji 35mm f1.4.

I also use the 35 lens hood. But it is a great lens, not just for a general walk around street lens in good light. I concur that the AF could be better, particularly in low light closeups. I found the lens was continually hunting and had to switch to my trusty 35/1.4, which performed much better under those conditions. That said, I have gotten some great shots in low light and hi ISO.

Here are a few shots, note the B&W shots, particularly the girl with her hand over her face. One of the few that worked before I switched to the 35/1.4. Also, the Bangkok garbage collector taken at 6400 ISO.
