Just the right size for the lens. It fits great and stores by reversing and locking in on the lens. One thing to remember is that with the hood reversed and stored on the lens that the recommended storage bag will not fit. You will need a larger bag.

Typical excellent quality Olympus item. I will say that I was disappointed the lens didn?t come with one but, glad I opted for the Olympus version and not some cheap knock off.

Perfect fit for the Zuiko Micro 4/3 75-300mm f 4.8 to 6.7. It works as expected for an OEM Hood. It is reversible so you can store it right on the lens. It should be included in the box with the lens when you purchase the lens, but it isn't. You need to ask Olympus why it isn't included, not Adorama.

There seems to be fiction about this lens hood not fitting backwards for storage on the M. Zuilo 75-300mm lens. It fits! It goes on the over the same bayonet fitting that is used to hold the lens in the functional orientation. This fit in both orientations includes when protective glass is mounted on the lens.

Fits. Works like a lens hood should. Only 4 stars because really the hood should come with the lens, but it works just fine.

I had purchased a copy of the hood from Asia. It would not stay on or 'lock' into position on the lens. There is no comparison between them, except for the look. I was disappointed in Adorama because, for some reason the NJ tax charged on the transaction seems to have included the freight in addition to the product. It is my understanding that that is not proper.

It is better than no hood, but is a bit sloppy

It fits, it works, it's rugged. Not much more you can ask of a lens hood. Looking forward to it fitting the same way on the 75-300mm II.

For ($), the Zuiko ED 70-300mm lens should include this hood. All prior Olympus lenses for my Evolt 500 included lens hoods.
