I'm pretty sure there is a rubber clamp on hood marked specifically for use
with the 50/1.2. I would have to look when I'm home to see how different
they are.
The 55/1.2 had a very spiffy looking metal (black and chrome) clamp on hood.
I believe it was also specifically labeled for the 55/1.2
I don't believe the (also spiffy looking) 35/2.8, 50/1.4, 50/1.8 metal clamp
on hood is the same size as either of the two above.
Jeff, the hood I'm offering for sale is not labled as being the proper hood
for either the 50mm f1.2 or the 35-70mm f3.5-4.5, however in the cross
reference for Olympus hoods, it says that all 5 lenses use the same hood.
Both
the rubber hood you mention and the metal one are shown to be interchangeable.
Guess one of the benefits of dealing with list members is they often times
can share these bits of OM information which may not be easily available from
normal sources. Bill Barber
