Howdy all,
As you may know I'm a digest sub*criber, so I missed all of your
helpful responses to my hood dilema until today. I went down to Austin
yesterday to visit my in-laws and Precision Camera. I went in and looked at
their "Unmarked hoods" bin. I guess they don't bother to actually read the
'Olympus' on the hoods, perhaps because it's so small. I found ones marked "85
2,0 100 2,8 (which I also was needing) 28 2,8 (which I don't need, yet :^))
and . . . 35-70!!! I flipped. I went to the front and said, "These were in
the consignment box, what do you want for them?" "Make me an offer."
"$2.00/hood ?" "Deal" he says. The 35-70 didn't fit. It was the one for the
F4,0. Bummer. It fits only over the inside barrel. Definitely _not_ 60mm.
I'll happily trade the 35-70 and the 28 2,8 for a 60mm 35-70 f3,6 hood.
