I use a little dome hood made especially for it - from Japan Exposures in
Tokyo. It doesn't vignette with a 46mm B+W F-Pro UV filter, not even on the
14mm either as far as I could see and it takes a 37mm snap cap (I use a new
Olympus one). The hood isn't cheap but it's very solid, well conceived and very
compact on the lens so it doesn't compromise the pancakeness.

The quote is from me!
The shop has some great odd stuff and they are good to deal with - it's run by
a Scandanavian guy so language is no problem.
