That is the early version of the hood. Perfect with chrome OM-1 and
silvernose 50mm lens. More "dress-up" and less practical than the later
rubber models, as it can be dinged and scratched. Like them, it may be
reversed over the lens for carrying/storage. It is also a correct hood
for the 35-70/3.5-4.5 and will reverse over that lens too.
Excellent price!
