New to forum today after buying an LX100 recently.
I have always used lens hoods on every lens I've owned over the last 35yrs and now trying to decide whether a lens hood — which I've read can cause vignetting — or a 43mm to 52mm set-up ring.
I found the JJC LH-43LX100 lens hood on ebay ( JJC LH-43LX100 Lens Hood for Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 Camera | eBay ) and after an inquiry to the company got this assurance from them regarding vignetting, "[the] LH-43LX100 adopts a vented design which allows more light to enter the image and causes no vignetting."
The step-up ring was recommended by a LX100 user on another website.
I would appreciate any and all feedback from people using or who have tried either or both of these options.
Thank you all in advance and I look forward to being a member of this forum.
