Sequel to “Olympus LH‑76 Lens hood Repair or Replacement“
Today my new lens hood to replace the Olympus LH-76 was delivered by standard mail,
And I just wanted to let you know and show how it turned out for me.
Well, I ended up ordering my LH-76 replacement from “fast Ali” 🙂
It was the ET-78II lens hood for the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM and 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM,
and yes, it also fits perfectly on the Olympus 40-150 mm f2.8 Pro.
My LH ended up costing €8.93 including shipping.
I also bought a neoprene lens bag XL from Matin for €4.50 to qualify for fast delivery from an amount of €10!
So all in all I paid €13.43 including shipping,
ordered on the 18th – delivered today on the 25th – 7 days !
The lens hood fits perfectly, I did have to cut off a plastic burr on the bayonet, which was left behind and not intercepted by product check – not to surprising at these prices.
I tested the lens with the LH to see if there was no vignetting at the edges at 40mm -> no vignetting, perfectly fine !
I also mounted the lens hood backwards, to make it easier to transport with lens -> perfect fit and works !
The only thing I can say is that my item had no form of indication for mounting on the lens, but that can easily be remedied with a waterproof felt-tipped pen.
Mounting the LH is probably not as smooth as with an original Olympus lens hood,
but the price difference is significant.
If, like me, you were looking for an Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 Pro LH replacement, then all possibilities are now known,
the choice is further up to you.
Thank you for your visit,
I hope it can be useful for you.
