I have just acquired an Oly 35-100 f2 in excellent condition from a local member of this site however there is no lens hood - The part number is Olympus LH-82 - Does anybody have one available or can suggest an after market equivalent ?
Many thanks in advance

I have owned my Oly 35-100 for at least 7 yrs and probably will never let loose. I usually only take portraits and weddings indoors and outdoors with this lens but never thought of putting the huge hood on and never had a problem..

B&H has it listed as a special order item and nicely priced at 34.95 USD. I guess that Henry's could get the part.

That original one, LH-82, is a tulip-type monster, about 10.5 cm long, front diameter about 12 cm! With that thing attached, the lens doesn't fit in any of my bags. And I really don't feel like putting that hood on and off all the time! Also, constantly using that bayonet mount will show very soon on the front part of the lens! I bought mine brand new last year and I want to keep it looking like that.

I would use it, if the situation really demands it, but so far I could do without it.

Rather useless as a lens hood, but just to add a little protection to the front end of the lens (in combination with a 77 mm B+W MRC F-Pro UV filter), I bought such a € 7 hood on ebay:

Not a beauty, but I'm thinking about maybe buying one of these rubber ones, still nothing like the original, but at least it will offer a little bit of lens hood function:

Get the large rubber collapsible; it works well.
 
Thanks - I have been looking at that style -

Hello Savonie, I am looking forward to seeing some pictures with your new lens. those you had of the Port Stanley area were superb, 35 plus years ago I took often my wife To be to the Kettle Creek Inn ,the good food there impressed her!
 
I have owned a 35-100mm since 2007. Using the lens hood is a necessary evil on this lens. Color saturation is much better with the lens hood attached - and yes, it's noticeable.

The rubber hood sounds nice in theory, but doesn't work in practice. There are cutouts in the factory hood for a reason. Your photos will noticeably vignette at wider angles with a solid ring-type hood without cutouts due to corner shading.

It's a pretty trivial matter to flip the hood around in the bayonet mount for backpack storage - I've never the slightest problem in 12 years.

I bought a used hood to replace a lost hood at KEH a couple of years ago. The earlier poster talking about wear on the lens bayonet is correct - the hood gets noticeably sloppy over time. I usually slip a tiny piece (thumbnail-sized) of kleenix tissue in the groove when I am putting on the hood, which tightens it up perfectly

I think you are correct here, I have also seen this mentioned in various reviews a couple times now.

I could imagine it is mainly a matter of the length of this rubber hood, if it will show vignetting or not. If it is just half as long as the original one, which is about 10.5 cm, I think there is a good chance it will not vignette, as long as the front diameter of the hood is sufficiently wide for that given distance to the front element of the lens.

Sure, that is what I would also do when using this hood. But as mentioned before, I hate to see the wear this hood produces over time on the front of the lens, on this plastic bayonet mount, as well as on the mount of the hood itself.

I have never noticed any problems with color saturation and I mostly never use the hood creating indoor or outdoor portraits.. However with or without the hood this lens is definitely one of the best lenses Olympus has ever come up with....

Sent you PM.
 
Well this site is amazing - Many thanks for all the suggestions - After searching here and there with no luck I just acquired a near mint OEM lens hood for the 35-100 from a local member of this site at a very good price - So now pushing my luck perhaps I thought I would inquire about the zippered soft sided lens case that was supplied with the lens at time of purchase - The Olympus part number is LSH 1326 - When I purchased the lens it came with a tight fitting Lowepro but the addition of the hood makes this case unusable - If anyone has one available preferably in Canada I would like to hear from you -

The Olympus hard case will barely fit the 35-100 with tripod foot and head. You have to take the hood off and slide it in without twisting it down. But it works.

And best of all for us Canuks, it's only C$10 in Canada , versus US $25 on the US site! I bought two of them at that price, and find it nicely fits the ZD 50-200, too.

I had a soft case for it, but it made me nervous. The hard case makes me feel confident that it's not going to get damaged banging on something.
 
Thanks for the info - I will look into it -
Monty
 
If you don't like the hard case I suggested, PM me and you can have an original soft case for the same price! :-)

(Oops… ignore that… for some reason, I thought we were talking about the ZD 150/2, for which I have a spare original case…)

There are more than one. The 1326 fits the 35-100 easily. The 1220 that comes with the 150 and is a tight fit for the zoom.

Cheers,

Rick
