matt_shimao1 Posted August 27, 1999 Share Posted August 27, 1999 Hello, <p> I am interested in the Minox ECX because of:1) ease of use (automatic exposure--no need to set shutter or aperature)2) black color. <p> However, in pictures I have seen on the web, I have noticed that the lens hood of the ECX looks like it is either chrome-plated or made of a shiny siver metal. To me this defeats the purpose of making the camera black so it is hard to notice. <p> Is the lens hood replaceable with a black one? Or can the lens hood be removed and painted black? <p> Best regards, <p> Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted August 27, 1999 Share Posted August 27, 1999 Matt, actually the ring is not the lens hood. The lens hood inside the window, behind the lens cover.<p> The ring is a guard ring designed to prevent accidental covering up of the lens by finger ! Because the EC/ECX is so small, one might block the lens without knowing it. <p> It cannot be remve. <p> From the comments I got by ECX users, the ECX is so small, the ring does not matter, people might think it a ring on your finger.
