I wonder… do you really need a deeper hood? This design (XH-27) is pretty effective even though it is small, because it is so narrow and so close to the ens. (This is what I use on the 27mm, and you hardly notice that it is there.)

And if you pair it with a filter you don't need a lens cap, the lens is always protected, and the camera is always ready to go.
Thank you gentlemen. I do have two XH-27 small hoods and a B+W 39mm 007 filter now paired on it. Unfortunately only have one lens cap that fits over the filer and hood combo that came with the hood when I bought it for my XF 27mm f/2.8 R WR lens. Must have misplaced the second cap. So the 23mm is on my new X-E5 now and the XF 27 is on is on my X-T5. I was looking for a deeper hood originally more to protect the front of the lens itself from getting mashed up inside my bag than killing stray light. Will see how it goes.
