The lens hood is not stupid at all, it blocks less area in the optical view finder of the Xpro series.

Ok but what about all the other Fuji lenses. Or did Fuji think the only lens used by owners of the X-Pro would be the 35 f/1.4?

Really this is one of the lamest excuses I have ever heard for a poorly designed lens hood.

Fuji makes 9 different cameras this lens can be used on and there rationale was it blocked the viewfinder less on the X-Pro than say the 18-55, 23 f/1.4, 16 f/1.4, 14 f/2.8 with the petal lens hood attached.

Stupid is as stupid does.
