Chuck, the hood from the 12-50 is actually designed for the 9-18. It doesn't
provide as much coverage on the 12-50 as
would a dedicated hood for that lens.
Moose responded:
Do you know this to be true from testing? .... Those two lenses do indeed take
the same hood.
Only from a photo posted on the m4:3's forum of a hood modified for the
12-50 by adding additional shrouding. Eventually I'll throw a second
cheap hood in the basket when I make another order. I keep losing those
damn eyecups from the EM5 and order two at a time. I hate to super glue
one on but I can't afford the $15 a pop. Anyone in China listening?
Wheee! You'll sure like the size/weight for hiking.
Yep, exactly. And for travel too. I wish I'd had it for Scotland. The
full sized 4:3's 9-18 + adapter was just too big. Otherwise it works
fine on the EM5 albeit a bit slowly. Anyone looking for a 9-18 for 4:3?
