The dark side of m4/3... lens hoods!

Aug 30, 2011

The 12mm, 25mm and 45mm lens hoods are quite large and non-reversible.
Kind of contradicts the primary reason for m4/3 (portability).
Could these not of been made reversible?

(I'm actually not sure if it is the 40B is reversible or not, however the description does not say it is)

Olympus 12mm f2, hood LH-48:

Panasonic 25mm f1.4:

Olympus 45mm f1.8, LH-40B:
