<<One wonders whether Olympus takes the hood thing seriously if they label
the same hood for an 85 or 40. If it does not vignette the 40 it certainly
does not provide much protection for the 85.>>

Exactly my point in asking the question.
There is obviously a proper limit for shading the lens with a hood, or there
would not be so many hoods on the market.
I always wondered if the tulip shaped hoods were really any good at the
corners. This is usually where the light flares from.
Of course a hood ( or a shade as I prefer) Is a valuable tool, but why the
emphasize
on the 85mm hood as opposed to the 100mm hood etc...?
By the way ...I use the finger in the corner method to test a shade.
