when I first got my lens and screwed the hood on, it fell off immediately. There's a little catch at the end where after screwing it on you push a little harder and it clicks into place. Are you saying that it is loose even after you do that?
As for focus, I don't know. I think mine is ok with good contrast but otherwise if I am doing close-up work or the light is dim, I usually focus myself.
