What is the reason for the venting on the RX1 hood? I would think this would leak light and defeat the purpose of a hood?
 
Yeah, I think it's style points as much as anything, since the only hood you need to see through are on rangefinder cameras with off-set (non TTL) viewfinders. It works on the X100 / X100s for example. But on the RX1, it doesn't do anything but potentially look cool to some people. It doesn't serve any purpose, but doesn't do any harm either...
