It is easy to find out: mount the hood + filter on the lens and
take some test pictures at smallest apperture, this will tell you
weather your combination works.
Here is what I think:
Olympus considered at least the heigt of a thin filter into account.
I´ve had no problems combining a 2.8/24 with the 2.8/28mm hood,
with a slim Olympus filter in between.
With a normal heighted UV-filter vingetting in the corners is visible,
but completely covered under the slide frame.
A normal 8mm heighted polarizer caused serious vingetting on a
2/21. The original Olympus one (~4mm): no problems with or without hood.
The hood of the 2.8/24 can be used on the 2.8/35mm shift, without filter.
Visible vingetting is covered under the slide frame.
