The "correct" hood for the 35-105 Zuiko zoom is of the rubber "clamp on" sort,
and raised letters toward the base state "35~105mm F3.5~4.5," as well as
"Olympus" and "Japan." I years ago lost the set screw out of mine, and since I
generally dislike this sort of hood, I never bothered to replace it. I use the
"proper" metal 55mm screw-in hood made for the 35/2 Zuiko instead.
