Arrow Hello from the Olympus PMA booth!

We have news and pictures from Olympus here at PMA, including confirmation that Micro Four Thirds will launch this summer. Meanwhile, the E-system is boosted by the new E-620, which has been enthusiastically received at the show.

Re: Hello from the Olympus PMA booth!

Has anyone invested in that dinky lens hood for the 25mm f/2.8 pancake pictured in the article?

No but I think I will check it out having just bought the Pancake, is it available in stores in the UK?

Re: Hello from the Olympus PMA booth!

At the price they want here, it's silly. And the screw in lens holds down thickness but is essentially nonfunctional. Fortunately there are a good number of cheap good center pinch caps available. I also like a clear protector filter. The only units I could find with good glass were thick frame filter. But none of that matters. It's tiny and does its job well (even on a G-1).

I can't find one in the UK anyway but there is a 43mm screw hood for about £8 so I'll get one of those, agree about the lens cap I'll get a centre pinch one as well.
