I wonder why Olympus did not make and/or include lens shades with the lenses for the m-4/3rds cameras?? Any thoughts??
What 14-42mm lens hood...I didn't get one with the lens. I guess that is my argument....they didn't make a hood for that lens or the 17mmNo idea, but they're pretty good for flare resistance and the ZD 14-42 lens hood actually fits the mZD 14-150.

I understand...my question is why did they not include a lens hood with these lenses as they did with the 4/3rds lenses. That is the question...does anyone know the reasons behind this? Sorry to be such a pain in the but, but most manufacturers now do include a hood.I think Brian is referring to the 4/3 version of that lens (ZD as against mZD).
Again, I can't understand why. I have been using Olympus from the E-10,E-20,E1, E-3 and the E-520...all with removable hoods and now with the m-4/3rds they have changed their pattern...I can't believe that it is to make more money for an accessory, not Oly, there has to be a reason.Bill,
If they include a hood with the lens, then you don't get to pay extra for it as an assessory.
Bill,

This is true.olympus doesn't even offer a hood for the kit lens, so there's no extra money to be made there
from what i've read, those who have installed aftermarket hoods have AF problems. the motor in the lens seems to be very weak.
