Hoya makes, and I use, what they call a "Multi Lens Hood." It's
rubber; it screws into the filter, and it collapses (or extends,
depending on where you start from) into one of three pre-set
positions: (using their nomenclature) "wide-angle," "standard,"
and "long tele, zoom."
According to the writing on the back of the box, "wide-angle" is
intended for 35-50mm; "standard" for 55-70mm, and "long tele,
zoom" for 70mm to infinity and beyond. It works.
Consider also that your geunine Zuiko tulip hood is really
effective only at 35mm. The further you zoom out (or in, again
depending on how you look at it), the less it's worth. At 80mm,
it's pretty much useless.
