I bought a recommended Canon lens hood to replace the infamous Olympus 40-150 Pro lens hood that has fallen tompieces and it is a pretty good fit but it tends to come off.

Do you have any suggestions on how to secure it better to the lens?

Just out of curiosity how does it attach?  Is I a bayonet or something else?

Totally different lens, but I have a 12-35 hood with a bayonet that does not stay oriented vertically

i suppose something has worn a little. I was thinking of using something to increase the friction a little such as a small piece of tape on the lens barrel
