The E-10's hood is tulip-shaped, as well. I really like it; it seems to be
effective enough at any focal length, and being able to store it on the lens
without having it add appreciably to the size is a real plus. Of course, it
does require that the front of the lens not rotate (something I hadn't
thought about till it was pointed out here), but that's a small price to
pay.
