I picked-up a variable ND filter for my RF 24-70/2.8 but I cannot use my lens hood with it. Are there any good solutions for having both?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Interesting to see this old thread bumped. After I've got the RF 70-200 f/4 I totally understand what you mean. With the hood in the reverse position my B+W Vario ND simply cannot thread into place. This EW-83H hood is my solution.

You may try the hood from some old lenses, like the EF 16-35mm f/2.8 II USM. It would take some trials and errors though.
