I guess after looking over my receipt I fibbed by $1.75. So it was actually
$3.75
(with shipping) (oops ;-)), but yes, I did indeed buy one and yes it was an
olympus and though the OLY box was slightly used, the lens hood was in
absolutely
perfect condition. Guess I got a good deal then. Looking in the closed auctions
on ebay, I noticed that they went from anywhere from $4.00 to $20.00
