The Olympus LH-40 Lens Hood for M.Zuiko 14-42mm Lens is designed for use with the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II or the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II R lens. Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.

Olympus lens hood

I don't use this lens much, mostly for travel.  This is my third lens hood and none of them are,or were, secure on the lens.  It seems to me that Olympus or somebody could make a lens hood that would fit properly.

Falls off easily

This lens cap has a solid design and fits securely on to the M. Zuiko 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 II R lens. Very useful for those bright sunny days.

Great addition to your camera gear

I use this hood with the M. Zuiko 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 II R, which is the kit lens for my O-MD EM 10 Mark II. It fits tightly, but releases easily, should you be inclined to remove it. I routinely take it hiking, and it has never fallen off my lens. It does a good job of reducing glare / lens flare.

Good fit for the M. Zuiko 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 II R

I lost the decorative ring on the 14-42mm lens on my first long hike with my new E-PM2, so I bought this lens hood to replace the ring and improve the lens function. However, I was bothered by how loose the LH-40 hood fit on the lens. Sure enough, the hood came off somewhere during the first four miles of a ten-mile hike, and I am frustrated with what should be such a simple issue of making attachments stay in place. The hoods on the pro lenses on my full frame camera all snap in place in the same way and have never come off, so the technology can work well.

Loose and lost

I've got the second generation lens and it attaches quite nicely and does an excellent job of reducing sunlight and flash flare

Fits Great, Works Great

There is nothing wrong with this product but you might find as I did that it did not fit my 14-42 lense as the desciption claims.

Product is fine though abit pricey. Unfortunately did not fit my lens.
