Yeah - I've done 'work' like that - sort of 'very late yard duty'.
At least you were allowed a drink!
But you raise a worry. I've got hoods on but it bothers me. I start to
wonder, did they not supply them for a reason. In the olden days, the
hood was attached to a solid bit of lens front but now, with these
dinky little things, they are screwed into the front element assembly
which doesn't seem too sturdy. Especially the Oly 14-42mm mFT - I
worry about it getting a knock. It gets very upset if I accidentally
push it against a window as I like to do with other lenses and the
other day, for a night shot, I forgot - had the PEN on a windowsill
resting on the base and on the lip of the hood. The focus couldn't
actuate properly and it grumbled at me with a message that the lens
was unhappy.
Would it not have been nice if, with the 20mm, the hood attached to
the body? It doesn't project far when focussing!
