nOOb question

[Moseph]

ok, please don't ban me from the forums for this but i would really like to know this - does the 20X lens for the XL2 have a fixed lens hood? also, what is the minimum focusing distance for that lens?
thanks in advance.

The lenshod isn´t fixed, about the minimum focusing distance I don´t know...
