Dedicated to the FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/1.4 R lens, the LH-XF23 Lens Hood helps to prevent lens flare and ghosting from occurring by blocking stray light from entering the lens, and the hood also helps to protect the lens' front element from scratches and light impacts. This metal hood is a stylish alternative to the hood originally included with the lens, and it includes a dedicated cap to protect the lens during storage or travel.
