In the link I posted for the 18-55mm vented lens hood a guy said that that lens hood vignetted, then he wrote back saying the vignetting was caused by his UV filter so he took off the filter and now the vented lens hood doesn’t vignette and he’s happy with the hood.

Mine does obscure the very corners at 18mm, it's gone by about 20. Found a sorter one that's vented for just $6 and free shipping from China. Guess I can manage with the 18/2 for a couple of months... LOL!
BTW, just looked at the OEM square hood of the 18/2 and wonder, why couldn't Fuji design one like that for the 18-55? It fits the 35/1.4 as well. Of course the fron element diameter of the zoom is much larger.
