Actually, Olympus recently did introduce a dedicated hood for the 12-50mm,
the LH-55C. There is a JJC version too...

> 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. I have a $10 ebay one that works perfectly fine and I will
> switch back and forth since the two lenses won't be carried at the same
> time. Olympus is _really_ lame not to include a piece of plastic that would
> cost them pennies to provide with a $650 lens. I almost went for the same
> deal as you but instead took a chance on ebay. Mine will be here today or
> tomorrow.
