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.
