Chuck, thanks, the hood I was thinking of anyway was for the 24mm focal
length.
I guess ideally I would have a rectangular hood that slipped over the front
of the lens barrel like the round Oly hood (and thus had the 51mm diameter
like you mentioned). Something similar to the Pentax 50mm rectangular hood
that I use on my Zuiko 50/1.4. I just like the way rectangular hoods look.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I want to hear some opinions on the 24mm f2.0
Zuiko. There is a dearth of info on this particular lens. Seems like there
is a lot more written about the other pro Zuikos, such as the 35/2, 85/2,
and even the 21/2. Anyone here have experience with this lens, good or bad?

>If you have a rectangular hood it needs a means of rotating the hood
independently of the filter thread in order to align the opening of the
hood with the film frame.
