Olympus LH-49 Sliding Hood for M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm 1:2.8 Macro Lens

There are clones of this but in my opinion the build quality far outweighs the cost difference. This is metal and plastic, the mechanism is smooth and only takes minimal effort to use.

As a normal, sensible human being my first thought when I saw this a was H O W M U C H??? However having got over my shock, I was brave and placed an order. This is a simple piece of plastic. but what a well thought out, well designed and well engineered piece of plastic. It is a perfect fit. It has a slightly ribbed matt interior to prevent light bouncing it moves/slides with ease, but not too much ease. In other words it is perfect. But soooo expensive.

Very pleased with this lens hood for my 60mm macro Fits easily and retracts smoothly..One star deducted because a) it should come as standard acceessory with the lens and b) the price is extortionate.

Does an excellent job and smoothly slides up and down the lens. If you don't want it when you are trying to get as much light on the subject as possible and may need manual focus it is trivial to remove. A lot of lenses I have owned in the past had sliding retractable lens hoods and it certainly made life easier. I have had Olympus lens hoods for decades and none, including the modern plasticy kind have ever broken in normal use.

This lens hood is excellent. It slides back onto the lens when not needed, and the lens fits easily into my camera bag. It saves taking the lens hood off each time and reversing it as on other lens hoods. So easy to use. It was expensive, but it seems you get what you pay for, and in this case it was an excellent purchase. I would recommend it.

The 60MM macro lens from Olympus is a fantastic piece of kit which is made a little bit better with the hood especially on longer exposures, Im a long way from being a professional and consider myself a mid level hobby photographer, if I notice a difference at my level it must be good.

I got my Olympus 60mm at a great price so I splashed out on the proper Olympus hood, which is silly expensive but very functional and looks great. Retracts back over the lens which is a nice part of the design and why I bought it.

It’s a shame it’s not included with the 60mm. I just like the simplicity of it, just twist it on and you can push it down or pull it up when needed. It is a bit pricey for a hood, but it works so well, wishOM systems did this with other hoods, as you don’t need to take off, once fitted. Push it down when in your bag, but do use with lens cap in this position, otherwise you could damaged your lens. No need to take off if shooting without needing it extended, just set your lens up, push back and go. I would have given 5 stars, but for the price. Build quality and fit are good. Would recommend to anyone with the 60mm macro lens.

Le paresoleil est de très bonne qualité. Il se fixe sur l'objectif sans jeu. Une fois monté, il coulisse le long du fût de l'optique, ce qui est très pratique en macro. Quand on s'approche du sujet, il ne gêne pas car il suffit de le replier si mla distance est très courte.
