It's Fuji's original metal vented hood. You can always order a similar one made by JJC.

The hood doesn't work on the X20. I don't see any lens threads either, so no way to attach it. The X20 probably has its own lens hood.

I don't agree with that information. I would say it's incorrect. The hood is the same for both models. It's a 40mm thread on the lens which that lens hood threads into (not 39mm or 40.5) and the hood permits using 52mm filters at the open end. There is no bayonet mount.

I bought the copycat version but it makes the camera big and it only looks good when the lens is in the collapsed state so I don't use it.

As you please.

I just bothered to try putting the hood on the X20 (again). It didn't go in. The rim of both lenses in not the same. On the X20 there's nothing to attach the hood to, the rim is totally smooth.

If you also have the X20 then try it yourself. Otherwise...

Does the X20 have a "beauty ring" (always thought that was the weirdest name for a thing) that needs to be unscrewed to reveal threads underneath?
