Have a question for anyone that has tried the new "slotted" version. Is it as effective in blocking light from all angels or has there been any experiences with light bouncing in off the side/top etc.
I had an original "solid" version and it worked great, since recently acquiring an RX1r, I went to purchase another rectangular hood and the only one Fotodiox makes available is the slotted one.
I understand this change in design was to allow the lowlight focusing IR illuminator to look through the hood from the back.
I'm not convinced of the design and don't use the focus assist anyway so my preference would be to buy an old version from someone (hint hint). I've called Fotodiox, placed WTB ads in various forums, none to be found.
What are your experiences with the new version?
