My point but possibly lost in my perverse English wit:grin:Avoid it? I've been dying waiting for my order to ship!!!
Dear David, I think you have to postpone your retirement a bit ... by a couple of years at least, I'd say.My point but possibly lost in my perverse English wit:grin:
I'm avoiding the OM-D at present, but tempted to switch to it for my retirement camera, when I'll only have to supply Alamy. This sort of lens doesn't help me
Another reason to wait is inevitable price drop and wanting to check out GH3 and new Canon mirrorless.
Here's a potential.....Anyone find an inexpensive hood for this yet? Also, when is it supposed to ship?
Lens hoods as extras on premium lenses aren't unknown. A cheap plastic hood for a kit lens tossed in is one thing, but a machined metal hood is another. Some of the hoods for the big, long teles from Canon and Nikon are accessories and cost hundreds of dollars.Wonder when Olympus will get the message that we don't appreciate having to buy the lens hood as an extra. Come on...
Hi DavidSony lenshoods came with the lenses too including the expensive and inexpensive lenses.
All the Panasonic m4/3 lenses I bought came with hoods.
I know we are paying for them in the price, but as they are almost always needed it seems petty not to include them, and a waste of resources to have to pay shipping for them separately.
Anyway that's the way it is with Olympus...
Jono, I like the protection that lens hoods provide for the front element. Do you use clear filters?Well, I'm pleased - these are lovely lenshoods and must be expensive. I never use lenshoods, so I'm pretty pleased not to have to pay for one!
