Product Information
Full details
The Fujifilm Lens Hood Cap (model LHCP-001) is designed specifically for photographers using the 18mm lens hood on Fujifilm X Series cameras. It provides an essential layer of physical protection for the front lens element while the hood remains attached, preventing scratches and dust buildup during transport. While it serves its purpose perfectly, users should note that this cap is designed exclusively for the specific 18mm lens hood and will not fit other lens diameters or standard lenses without the hood present.

FAQs
Will this cap fit my 35mm lens?

Can I attach this cap directly to the lens?

What is the weight of the cap?
The cap weighs 9.0 grams.

Yes, this is an official Fujifilm accessory, model number 16389800.
How do I clean the cap?

Troubleshooting
The cap feels loose or falls off easily.
Clean the inner edge of the lens hood and the rim of the cap to remove any dust or debris that might be preventing a secure fit.
Difficulty snapping the cap onto the hood.
Ensure you are using the correct 18mm lens hood; the cap is not designed for other hood models or direct lens mounting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the cap, simply align it with the front edge of your 18mm lens hood and press gently until it clicks into place. It is compatible specifically with the Fujifilm 18mm lens hood (LHCP-001). To maintain the cap, wipe it periodically with a clean microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the material. If the cap becomes loose over time, ensure there is no debris trapped in the hood's mounting grooves, as even small amounts of sand or grit can prevent a secure seal.
