Lens hoods are always useful accessories, not only for protecting against lens flare but also for shielding the front lens from accidental collisions. Unfortunately, the Olympus M.Zuiko ED 60mm F/2.8 Macro lens is one of those lenses that is supplied without one—or maybe you had one and lost it?
The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm F/2.8 Macro lens hood, which typically costs around €50 directly from Olympus, can be found for a significantly lower price under the model name JJC LH-J49. Available on AliExpress for about €15, this third-party alternative offers a budget-friendly option without compromising functionality.
It is stated that there is a “sliding mechanism,” but I have not been able to verify that as I am still waiting for the delivery of my lens hood.
The JJC LH-J49 is also available from other online retailers like Amazon or eBay and many other, providing the same practical benefits of reducing lens flare and protecting the lens, making it a popular choice for photographers seeking affordability and quality.

I know I should, but I don’t use lens hoods.

🙂 Don’t worry Mark, I have the same with UV and other lens filters.
