Panansonic z10 lens hood

[Parallel]

Do you guys leave the lens hood on the camera all the time? Just bought a UV filter to attach to lens hood but realise lens cap does not fit. Do you guys buy another 72mm lens cap. If so, how much and where to get. Thanks.

Hi,

Used to have a Pana FZ10. The only way to attach the required 72mm filters is to leave the lens hood on 100% of the time.

You should be able to get a suitable 3rd party lens cap with an elastic band cord for about $10 from Cathay Photo.



Warmest Regards

Thanks for the fast reply, cphile. So why did you give up on the FZ10? What are you using now?

I just got the FZ10. Have attached a Canon 72mm UV filter I dug up from my storeroom, and I bought a HOYA rubber multihood to go over that.

Now i just leave everything on, plus a 72mm HOYA Multi-hood over the FZ-10hood/UV filter (yeah, it looks like a 500mm 135mm monstrosity if you don't like large fronted, long lens barrels). I find that the HOYA multihood keeps most things out.

Cheers!
