Can anyone recommend an affordable, third-party hood for the M32/1.4 lens? Also, what other M lens hood, if any, fits also the M32/1.4 lens?
When the EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM lens was released the matching lens hood (which is a barrel-type) was not shipped for quite some time. So wanting to protect my lens from damage, I bought an EW-60F lens hood which is made for the 18-150mm lens. It fits perfectly although the first time I fitted it I had to push it forward onto the lens' bayonette style fitting attachment on the front of the lens. It's robust, doesn't scratch easily, doesn't show scratches if it is scratched and was quite affordable when I bought mine. I like the look of the petal-style hoods more than the barrel or drum types and accessing a C-PL filter ring is easier.

I Regret that the angle of these images (below) makes the hood look much larger than it is on the lens. I have the camera/lens with hood on it sitting in front of me right now and the EW-60F lens hood looks smaller and shorter than it does in these photographs.

I've recommended this hood to other members of this forum in threads almost identical to this one and at least two other members here claim to use the same hood and like it. I think it's just the right size, it looks like it belongs on the lens and it's extremely robust. It rotates and then clicks into place - although I remember the first time I attached this hood to the lens that it required a little more pressure than expected. Even today, years later, the hood looks surprisingly new and the fitting is firm but loose enough to easily remove.
