[OM] 28mm lens shades

Hi,

Earlier on I typed:

To complete(?) the picture, I also have an old metal clamp on type marked "1.4/50 1.8/50 3.5/28",

And then it was pointed out to me that the lastly indicated lens should probably have been the 2.8/35 (instead of the 3.5/28), so I checked the hood, and indeed this is the case.

So, after eliminating that hood from the list, there was still the question whether the hood for the 28/3.5 (and/or 28/2.8) would vignette on the 28/2. Well, last Friday I received the metal hood for the 28/2 (only marked as "2/28"), and indeed it is different from the metal hood marked "3.5/28", as it is substantially wider. On a different note, the rubber hood marked "2.8/28 3.5/28" seems to be about equally wide as the 28/2 hood. This might explain why some people did see vignetting when using one of those hoods (the metal one for the 28/3.5, I presume?), whereas others didn't see any vignetting (who then probably used the rubber one)...

I hope all is clear now?

Cheers,
Olafo

PS: John: the order for a new pair of glasses is underway ;)))
