Replacement lens hood for Oly 40-150 f/2.8 Pro

[etrigan63]

I am in the process of acquiring this fine lens, but I have heard horror stories about the bundled lens hood falling apart (one from Scott Bourne, no less) and I am on the preemptive hunt for a replacement. I remember using a Mamiya M77 No 2 rubber lens hood (77mm threads) on a Tamron 70-200mm SP and have yet to encounter a rubber lens hood of that caliber. Sadly, the Mamiya M77 No 2 is out of production. Can any of you recommend a product of similar quality? I realize that a 72-77mm step up ring is needed.

There is a B+W rubber lens hood in 77mm.

FWIW still have my original 40-150/2.8 lens hood since December 2014.

Hi Carlos,

You can still get a new M77 No. 2 lens hood from this ebay seller. I have bought quite a few Mamiya 645/7II/RZ67/TLR items from them over the past few years.

Thank you Gary! I ordered one and a lovely machined brass step up ring from Amazon.
