[JoePro]

No stock at all shops I tried at Sim Lim.

AP has a compatible ring and hood asking for $80...

I bought the last of 3 pieces of original lens hood from Alan Photo (Sim Lim) yesterday afternoon.

Stocks are really scarce.

I just bought mine at Parisilk in Holland Village... they may have more. They also have two X100 on the shelf.

Is the original standalone adaptor ring exactly the same as the adaptor ring that comes with the hood?

Yes, it is the same.

I would suggest that you guys get the original or the copy for a simple reason: the height and hood is designed as to block flare but still allow maximum transmission of light to the sensor.

So any other brands like pentax may hinder rather than help your photography.

And no...i am not selling LH-x100. You guys can check 3rd party copies in eBay. Got mine at 30% of the originial price and is made of the same material.

So long it follows the height and size of the hood/adaptor it should be fine. The only 3rd party is by JJC. I would guess Japan's UN would do something similar too.

Ordered a 3rd party one from eBay. Give up on the original one, no stocks everywhere. Thanks!

As a tip, get the version that is quoted in US dollars as the AUD is much stronger (1.25 versus 1.30). The seller i have business with have both USD and AUD quoted price.

Did you try MSColor at AMK? Downtown shops usually are the first ones to clear stocks.
