[OM] Re: 28/2,8 shade plus 2,0/28mm equal vignetting?

[Michael Darling]

Hama makes a generic 24mm hood that I have been meaning to try on my  
28/2.

I know for a fact that it won't fit my 28mm Elmarit (trying to save a  
lot of cash...) but haven't tried it on the Zuiko. My local camera  
store has one, I may go next week to mount it and finish off the roll  
of mystery film in my OM1. I've never been a fan of the round Olympus  
hoods on wide angle lenses.
