I'm sure that there are some plastic caps of some sort that could be found
to fit various hoods instead of lens caps. I've just been too lazy to try
and hunt them down.
But spare lens caps are inexpensive at camera shows, if not as nice as OM caps.

IMHO every lens deserves a hood. Also IMO, the biggest mistake one can make
is screwing a Skylight/UV filter in front of a high quality (or lesser
quality too for that matter) optic and leaving it there permanently while
foregoing the lens shade. It's kinda like plastic wrapping a chair or sofa.
What are we saving it for. After all a hood is pretty fair protection.
My problem is with getting lens cap on, so I was intrigued by Skip's use of
the 55mm cap in the front of the 85 hood. But I still curse Olympus for not
design a better hood/cap system.
