Chuck, the hood from the 12-50 is actually designed for the 9-18. It doesn't
provide as much coverage on the 12-50 as
would a dedicated hood for that lens.

Do you know this to be true from testing? .... Those two lenses do indeed take
the same hood.
Only from a photo posted on the m4:3's forum of a hood modified for the 12-50 by adding additional shrouding.
Hmmmm. I'll try to remember to check it out next time I'm out with the 12-50 on a nice day. It's all out the window,
though, as soon as you zoom even a little
Eventually I'll throw a second cheap hood in the basket when I make another order.
Yeah, I hate changing them on the fly. Also, I tend to think of them as front element protection at least as much as
glare prevention. I don't use clear filters in any but extreme circumstances.
I keep losing those damn eyecups from the EM5 and order two at a time. I hate to super glue one on but I can't afford
the $15 a pop. Anyone in China listening?
That is so weird. 28 months and 12,341 shots later I've never had mine come off. I may have taken it off some time for
some foolishness or other? But it's never come off on its own. Something about a bag you carry it in?
