Nor am I, but Bill is correct, the "rubber" OM hoods have a metal base,
and are far better made than after market rubber hoods.
Also, I have the hood in question, which used to be shared between 90/2
and 135/4.5 until I, happily, saw the back of the 90/2. Holding it up
against the screen, it sure looks like the one in the auction.
