FAQs
Can I use other 49mm filters with this hood?
Yes, the hood is designed to accommodate standard 49mm filters, allowing you to use your preferred filtration alongside or instead of the included hybrid filter.
How do I clean the Black Mist effect on the filter?
The Black Mist effect is an integrated part of the glass. Clean it as you would any other lens element using a dedicated lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth.
What is the strength of the Black Mist filter?
The included Black Mist filter is 1/4 strength, providing a subtle softening effect without excessive diffusion.
Is the aluminum construction prone to scratching?
The CNC aluminum construction is durable, but like all metal finishes, it can be susceptible to scratching from sharp impacts. Handle with care during transport and use.
Does the hood affect the camera's autofocus or metering?
Designed specifically for the GFX 100RF, the hood should not interfere with autofocus or metering functions. The CPL filter may slightly affect light transmission, as expected with any polarizing filter.
How do I access the support documents via NFC?
Enable NFC on your smartphone, then tap your phone to the designated NFC chip on the lens cap. Your phone should prompt you to open a link to the support documents.
Troubleshooting
Hood is difficult to attach or remove.
Ensure there are no obstructions on the lens threads. Align the hood carefully and screw it on straight. Do not force it.
Filter adjustment tabs are sticky.
Gently clean the tabs with a dry microfiber cloth. Ensure no debris is obstructing their movement.
NFC lens cap not detected by smartphone.
Ensure your smartphone's NFC feature is enabled and that the phone is positioned directly over the NFC chip on the cap. Try restarting your smartphone.
Filter causes vignetting.
Ensure the filter is correctly seated within the hood. Check that the hood itself is properly mounted. If vignetting persists, it may be due to the combination of lens focal length and filter thickness, though this is less common with medium-format setups.
