Olympus LH-55C Lens Hood

Shooting into the sun used to be a gamble, but this square hood snaps on tight and blocks flare perfectly. It’s a perfect fit for the 12-50mm lens and doesn’t block the viewfinder.

Backlit shots used to wash out my photos completely, but this square hood cuts the glare exactly as intended, and the snap-on fit for the 12-50mm lens is reassuringly snug. A solid, no-nonsense accessory that does its one job flawlessly.

Finally a lens hood that actually stays snug without wobbling. The square cut blocks side flare perfectly with my 12-50mm, and it's lightweight enough to leave on all day.
