For the 40/2:
- I have a rubber hood marked for three lenses: 40/2, 85/2, 100/2.8.
- As to the comment for the 50/1.8 hood. The set-screw hood that I have is
marked for three lenses too: 50/1.4, 50/1.8, 35/2.8. It will fit on the
40/2, but as the aperture numbers are on the outer lens ring, the hood's
mounting ring will obscure the numbers. It's use wouldn't be very practical.
- You could use the 24/2.8 hood, it fits, but it's too wide.
As for the 24 Shift, it has it's own flower petal "hood". That mother-of-a
front element is so big you can't put filters on it, they're internal.. I
bet the image circle's angle of view for the 24 shift is somewhere between
the equivalent of a 15-18mm lens. so it would have to be a mother of a hood
to fit.
Also, notice that the same hood fits the 135/4.5 Macro and the 90/2 Macro.
I'm surprised that the 16/3.5 Fisheye doesn't have the same "petals" like
the 24 shift. Many other full frame fisheye lenses from other mfgrs have
these. I guess Olympus wanted to keep the size down as much as
possible. It does expose the front element rather a lot though.
Anybody know of a hood for the 24 Shift or the 40/2?
