HELGI H : Does this hood fit the Olympus 14-150mm 1:4-5.6 ED MSC lens?NORMAN C : I would say yes if the lens is 58mm.PAUL M : I bought this hood thinking it would fit my 14-42 micro 4/3 lens for my E-PL1 but it didn't fit so I had to return it. The diameter of the hood was larger than the lens.WILLIAM M : This lens hood fits my 14-150 and 40-150. I do not have the 14-150.GARY H : Yes, the f it is OK. And there seems to be no interference with the function of the lens.MICHAEL H : Yes. I am using it with that lens on the OM-D E-M5 camera. It reverses on the lens to fit into a compact case such as the Lowepro TLZ-15 although it would be difficult to use the manual focus ring with the hood in the reversed position.
Shopper : Will this lens hood fit the M.Zuiko 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 coming on the Olympus EPL5 as a kit lens?WILLIAM M : Yes, the hood does fit nicely on the M.Zuiko 14-42.DENNIS L : Wish I could be of assistance,but I am using an M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 EZ lens on an OMD E-M5 camera. However, if looks like it might fit the lens in which you are interestedGEORGE K : No. The hood is made to fit the Zuico lens, not the M. Zuico lens. The M.Zuico lens is a much smaller lens made for the mirrorless cameras.GARY H : The LH 61D is the lens hood for that lens. I'm not sure that there is a substitute .i have not attempted to use any other lens hood on this lens.RICHARD G : Yes it does.ALEXANDER LOUWE K : I actually had to return the LH-61C lens hood, because it DOES NOT fit the micro 3/4 14-42 lens. I ordered the LH-40 lens hood and that was the right one.
Shopper : Listed by Olympus as the hood for 14-150.Does it fit properly?BERT H : The hood fits properly and works as well as the original.WILLIAM M : Yes, it fits properlyPAUL D : The lens hood fit perfectly and I'm truly pleased.DENNIS L : NO! The hood you want for the 14mm-42mm that is the standard lens for the EP-3 is the Olympus model LH-40...if you can find it. I got a JJC hood that replaces the LH-40. Good luck finding the actual LH-40 hood, which, if you do will cost triple the JJC replacementMICHAEL D : It fits fine on my mzuiko 14-150mm zoom.KEITH Z : I bought this hood for my 14-42 lens, but discovered once I received it that it is for the II and R versions of the lens and will not fit on the L version which I have on my E-PL1. Since the 14-150 lens is the same size as the 40-150 which also own, this hood should fit just fine. I would however, suggest that the LH-61D would be a better choice for the 14-150.

Flimsy

Thin and flimsy compared to the one it replaced. It will do, but I would have preferred a more solidly built hood.

Easy to install

I own the 14-150 mm lens with my E-PL1 (yes....I need to update my camera body) and the lens hood is as easy as changing a lens to the body of the camera. I have a UV filter on my lens also. I can get my lens cap on there....not easily but not difficult either. I have yet to shoot some photos with the hood. I just got it for Christmas.

doesn't fit 14-42mm olympus lens

Brought this product to fit new Olympus 14-42mm kit lens. Olympus says this hood will fit it. Not even in the ball park. The circumference of this hood is 58mm. The lens circumference is 37mm.
