I've just received the 2 lens hoods pictured here for
the 12-50 (rectangular)
<http://www.ebay.com/itm/LH-55B-Lens-Hood-for-Olympus-M-Zuiko-Digital-ED-9-18mm-f-4-0-5-6-Lens-/260855044409?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160>
and the 14-150 (tulip)
<http://www.ebay.com/itm/LH-61C-Lens-Hood-for-Olympus-14-42mm-f-3-5-5-6-Zuiko-ED-Zoom-/150773855466?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:3160>
Both hoods were bought from the same seller in Jan 13 and arrived today
Feb/4. Both hoods are bayonet mounts and not threaded as some appear to
be. They seem sturdy enough to do the job and fit well. The tulip
shaped hood for the 14-150 is reversible. If the rectangular
shaped hood for the 12-50 is reversible I've yet to figure it out. It
appears that the groove pattern is non-symmetrical and won't fit in
reverse. I'll have to spend some time studying it to see if a bit of
reshaping with a sharp knife will make it reversible. No big deal if
it's not. It's not very deep and doesn't add much to the length of the
lens. I'm happy with my purchases given a grand total of $17.20 for the
pair.
I also received this radio remote trigger today which was also ordered
on Jan 13.

I haven't used it yet other than to test it at short range. Seems to
work fine and also came with batteries.
Note for Chris Trask. The mini-USB connector fits fine and works.
