The lens hood (of the Touit 12/2.8) feels cheap and fixing it is opposite of smooth. I can reverse it, so I thought, the one of the 18/2.8 can also be reversed? All hoods of the Sigma Arts series are tighter, easier to fix and more capable of taking a bump without breaking in a dozen little parts Sigma even has a rubberized ring around their hoods to make it easier to mount or dismount. The plastic Zeiss uses is just too brittle.
At the Otii, the use metal hoods. I think, a couple of customers would be willing to pay and extra for these kind of stuff - I also ordered metal hoods for the Fujinons 23/1.4 and 16/1.4. No need for front caps then (which are also kind of cheaply made)
