In my copy, the hood does not fit the adapter precisely; there is about 2 mm "play" even with bayonet lock fully engaged. Is this typical?

Mine rotates a little, maybe a 16th of an inch or so. As long as it is secure and does not pop off, it should not matter. I also have a pinch style lens cover that snaps onto it so I do not have to try to reach inside to remove or replace it and it has never popped off. The only time I remove it is when I use the flash.

Yes, mine has a slight bit of play, but it hasn't been a problem, & I never notice it in daily use.

Mine fit snug but great. You my try placing your weapon inside of a sock (Cleared and safety checked of course) and force it in. Let it set for a few days and try it. If that is too much work just try a replacement.

I'd love to upload a pic but don't see ANYwhere - here, the webpage, or w/my review that allows me to do that. The pic shows how oddly shaped the skeg is - it is really made specifically to fit the sevylor kyak. So I'm not sure if you could make it fit something else. It makes a huge difference in the steering. But it only has to be just a bit off center for it to be worse than none at all. So it has to fit tight. If you can think of a way for me to get a pic to you or if you want me to try and describe it let me know.

Threads are not well-done on this hood. The thread base is supposed to stay on the lens, the hood then screws on the base either way.

If you have a Hood on the lens, how would you adjust the CPL filter? I'm sure the hood fit over the filter.

There is an adapter ring that screws on to the lens. The actual hood then bayonets onto that ring. Un-bayonet the hood, invert it and it fits over the lens for storage. Yes, your lens cap will still fit on the lens.

I just received mine it is does NOT look the same as what's in the photo. It does work but the problem is the front of the filter is BIGGER than 52mm, my 52mm lens hood does not fit. Not sure what's the front filter size on the one I received, like I said it's not the one pictures so yours might be different.

The Problem- ALL bayonets on a 590 model have a space issue where it is just a bit short, giving the bayonet loop a little bit of play when mounted. (This can cause the bayonet to fall off from recoil) The Solution- I went to Lowes and bought a pack of 1" diameter rubber washers for about $2. Placing only one of them onto the mag tube before screwing on the mag cap gave it just enough added distance for a snug fit.I wouldn't worry about the washer causing the mag cap to come loose. I tested it on the range with 200rds of birdshot and 75rds of buckshot. Didn't budge at all.

Mine was the same way, thought I'd gotten the wrong lens. I contacted Olympus and they said it shouldn't be like that and to exchange it if I wanted. I didn't want to mess with it and it has become easier to put on and take off without making the mounting too loose for my other lens. It worked itself out.

24-105 with hood does not fit into case at all. Without hood it is a very tight squeeze for lens and the body sticks out. Velcro will lock, barely. I would not call it a fit, but adequate for some uses.

I have the same experience that you do. It is the tab on the side that keeps it locked in. My hood release is on the same side as the tab, so it makes it very difficult to remove. I have to wiggle a screwdriver in between to try to push the tab. Ugh...

Mine locks in place, bayonet style, with a half turn twist. Since it doesn't have standard threads you have to line it up properly and push it into place before turning. Wonder if that might be the problem??? Good luck. Rob

I have a Sony HX 300 The lens hood will not fit tightly to the the lens and is prone to fall off

That's a really tough question I purchasing 52, 55 and 58 Nothing fit i finally discovered it's a bayonet Mount and you need a special adapter I didn't want to spend that kind of money so ended up no filter

BTW, the various hoods and shrouds generally interchange across DeWalt units at least the several that I own including corded and 18v models. Some of my hoods are top tool sided only as well as enclosures that cover two sides of the discs.

Everyone who are reporting that their bino does not have the tripod adapter screw hole... Have you tried to unscrew the small, round cap that's on the front of the center hinge? Mine was pretty tight, and there's no easy purchase on it, but it did unscrew eventually. So grab your bino and really put some muscle into unscrewing that piece. Although I suppose it's possible that Bushnell designed these just so the 8 x 42 has that ability, I find it unlikely that's the case.

Thanks guys for the reply! I appreciate it! You've helped tremendously! I got one and it fits fine!
