Olympus 14-42mm Lens Hood

[sonwolf]

Has anyone found a lens hood (preferably metal) for the Olympus 14-42mm kit lens that does not vignette at 14mm?

Good question. I am asking about the same.

I bought one of those vented metal hoods from the bay.
It's difficult to use the lens cap when attached, but except from that it works flawless.

Unfortunately I can't provide a link, since I bought it about a year ago.

I have contemplated fashioning a bayonet hood for it but after taking many shots with this lens in many situations, I don't think it needs anything. I think a vented hood looks smart with the pancake lenses but I feel that anything on the 14-42 is a bit futile.

It does some vignetting. Instead I bought a S-K for 49 mm, and a stepup ring. This one is tulip shaped. Works nice.
