.... I am living in the UK and my Fotodiox hood for the Olympus 40-150mm Pro arrived today Sunday from Amazon and was only ordered on Friday. Delivery had been quoted for the following Wednesday/Thursday.
Fotodiox Lens Hood for Canon EF 135mm f/2.0L, 180mm f/3.5L Lens, as Canon ET-78II, ET-78 II: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo
Free delivery and returns on eligible orders. Buy Fotodiox Lens Hood for Canon EF 135mm f/2.0L, 180mm f/3.5L Lens, as Canon ET-78II, ET-78 II at Amazon UK.www.amazon.co.uk
It's good quality and matt black inside but not ribbed like the Olympus. It fits well and securely but it can be tricky to take on and off in a hurry. It can also be reverse fitted over the lens for more compact transport. However, it fits my Lowepro backpack without having to be reverse mounted, so I would only need to remove it to change filter to for example a circular polariser but when I use those I do so without a hood so that it's easier to adjust on the fly.
The cleverly designed OEM Olympus hood is obviously more convenient to use but much more prone to a broken mechanism and is expensive to replace. I am buying a replacement to keep if I ever sell my 40-150mm Pro lens but it's such a great and useful lens that I don't see that happening!

Ah! a good find..................I was searching using the Fotodiox code and nowt showed up but there it was all along a little differently 'referenced'
Many thanks for the link and mini-review of/about it
