Hi Noel,

The 35-105 lens hood is quite different from the 28-48 lens hood - however you 
may be able to use it.  On my 28-48 the lens hood is a screw in one which fits 
around the filter ring and screws in the the next thread along the lens.  I 
think it is 55mm??  You can also use the lens hood designed for the 28/2.8 lens 
but this fits into the filter ring.  The 28-48 lens hood is very hard to come 
by and when I was searching for one the Olympus people in Japan said that it 
was no longer available.  The 28 lens hood is easier but I would search the 2nd 
hand lens hood boxes as it will probably be expensive.  I priced a new 21/3.5 
lens hood and it was quoted at $75 (aus) - so I'll be butchering a generic wide 
angle lens hood.  Also check the lens hood information on Lee's page.
