Quick answer
The SquareHood designed for the Fuji XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR does not directly fit the Fuji XF 23mm f/2 R WR due to a different filter thread size (39mm vs 43mm). You need a step-up ring or a dedicated hood for the 23mm f/2.
Why the thread size matters
The Fuji XF 23mm f/2 R WR uses a 43mm filter thread, while the XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR uses 39mm. The SquareHood we carry is built for the 39mm thread of the f/2.8 version, so it won't screw directly onto the f/2 lens.
Using a step-up ring (43mm to 39mm) is a common workaround, but it adds length and may cause vignetting at wider apertures. The hood's square design also requires precise alignment to avoid blocking the lens's field of view.
What about the lens cap?
The SquareHood comes with a hard plastic pinch-style cap that fits the hood's outer diameter. If you use a step-up ring, the cap still fits the hood, but the hood itself will sit farther forward. The included cap works fine with the adapter setup.
If you prefer a metal cap, those are sold separately. The hood's aluminium construction is lightweight and durable, but the added adapter ring may feel slightly less secure.
Diagnosis: Will it fit?
- Symptom: You try to screw the SquareHood onto your Fuji XF 23mm f/2 R WR, but it doesn't thread on or feels loose.
- Likely cause: The hood is designed for a 39mm filter thread (XF 23mm f/2.8), but your lens has a 43mm filter thread. Check your lens's filter thread size printed on the lens barrel or front cap.
- Corrective action: Purchase a 43mm-to-39mm step-up ring. Screw the ring onto the lens, then attach the SquareHood to the ring. Ensure the hood is oriented correctly to avoid vignetting. Test for vignetting by shooting at f/2 and f/2.8 against a bright sky or white wall.
- Stop or choose another option: If you don't want to use an adapter, consider a dedicated 43mm square hood or a standard round hood for the 23mm f/2. The SquareHood for the 23mm f/2.8 is not a direct fit. For a clean look without adapters, look for a hood specifically designed for 43mm threads.

SquareHood for FujiFilm XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR: This lens hood is made for the Fuji XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR and uses a 39mm filter thread. It won't attach directly to the 23mm f/2 lens (43mm thread) without a step-up ring, which may affect fit and handling.
