Howdy all,
        As you may know I'm a digest sub*criber, so I missed all of your 
helpful responses to my hood dilema until today.  I went down to Austin 
yesterday to visit my in-laws and Precision Camera.  I went in and looked at 
their "Unmarked hoods" bin.  I guess they don't bother to actually read the 
'Olympus' on the hoods, perhaps because it's so small.  I found ones marked "85 
2,0  100 2,8 (which I also was needing)  28 2,8 (which I don't need, yet :^)) 
and . . . 35-70!!!  I flipped.  I went to the front and said, "These were in 
the consignment box, what do you want for them?"  "Make me an offer."  
"$2.00/hood ?"  "Deal" he says.  The 35-70 didn't fit.  It was the one for the 
F4,0.  Bummer.  It fits only over the inside barrel.  Definitely _not_ 60mm.  
I'll happily trade the 35-70 and the 28 2,8 for a 60mm 35-70 f3,6 hood.
