The B + W lens hood is functional and well worth the money. I had already before the currency reform and the Wall came down this kind Gelis and was always satisfied. Especially the easy folding and unfolding causes they virtually always remains on the lens and is then also used. I now would not, for example, the type who always up a Gegenlichblende and would unscrew again. Bin halt rather lazy when it comes to the ;-) Price-performance is okay. Especially compared to the org. Olympus aperture.
