Re: Panasonic 14-42mm ii with a hood and a polarizer?

I have a 52mm, 3 position collapsible rubber hood with a polarizer on the front that I use with all my lenses via step up rings - a Panasonic 20 1.7, Olympus 45 1.8, Panasonic 45-150, and the 14-42 v2 same as yours.  I find this works pretty well but it does render the other hoods redundant. I still use them when I don't want the polarizer.  Here it is on the 20mm.

If I remember tonight I'll try putting the polarizer on the step up rig and mount to the 14-42 with the bayonet hood attached and see if I can answer your question more directly.
