Hi - it clicks into place and stays there, but not firmly. Personally if I was carrying the camera for an extended period outdoors eg on a hike, I'd probably take the hood off until it's required. But I've used it recently for theatre dress rehearsal work, with no issues whatsoever - and wouldn't hesitate to do the same. Hope this helps, Jon

To make the hood work a little better, put a bit of folded paper into the gap behind the locking notches, making them harder to bend back.

Radlett,

Cosmetically pretty much unmarked and optically great apart from a few dust specs as you'd expect, complete with both caps and hood - although the latter is slightly looser than I would like; it still locks into place, but not as firmly as when it was new. Image quality is as good as ever - they really are lovely lenses.
Looking for £250 including insured postage within the UK.
Cheers,
Jon
