I had an OM hood for the 85/2. It was slightly conical and nowhere near
as rigid as generic metal hoods or the clamp on OM hood for the 50/1.4,
50/1.8, and 35/2.8. I dropped the conical hood once or twice and it
buckled slightly out of shape and then it was tossed out. Very
disappointing build quality!
