39mm Metal Curved Lens Hood, 39 mm Vented Hood, Tilted Lens Hood for Fuji Leica Leitz Panasonic Olympus Panasonic Sony Lens, 39mm Screw-in Lens Hood

I bought a newOlympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f1.8 (Black) Lens for Olympus Micro 4/3 Camerasand it didn’t include a hood. Amazon was out of stock of the OEM hood and, at $35, it was silly expensive anyway. I own several Rainbow Imaging and BlueCell hoods, and they were excellent, so I figured buying the 37mm version was a safe bet. Indeed I received a lot of quality for only 7 bucks: excellent fit and finish, sturdy metal construction, no vignette problems and a handsome product. Unlike some designs, this one doesn’t taper or flare towards the end but, instead, the is a consistent diameter. My new lens is now protected from fingerprints, doggie noses, raindrops and stray light. Plus, it looks like it’s wearing a goth miniskirt!01/18/2014 Update: I finally got a chance to try this hood on myOlympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/2.8 Lensand it works great as well: no vignette problem wide open and looks OEM. If you shoot with the 17mm f/2.8 and 45mm/f1.8 you only need to carry one hood!
