In general yes, but with the Olympus hoods you get the added feature that
they can be reversed on the lens for storage. The 50/1.2 is much wider
than the 50/1.4 and 50/1.8 so the hood for those lenses won't fit on the
50/1.2 when reversed. If you don't care about that feature, then the
regular 50mm lens hood will work just fine.
