[OM] 35-80/2.8 lens hood

Hi,

While reading about the 35-70/3.6 lens hood a question popped up in
my head: the 35-80/2.8 has one of those funky tulip-shaped hoods.
Now, can anyone tell me what (other than making the lens look extra
cool and professional ;)) the reason is that the really expensive
pro-zooms all seem to have such a lens hood?

Also, would this hood be equally effective as the one for the
35-70/3.6 which uses the clever mechanism of sticking out the front
of the lens when zooming down to 35mm, for preventing vignetting?
I guess on the 35mm end both hoods should be equally effective, but
I would also guess that the latter one is more effective at the 70mm
end, than the former one at the 80mm end...

Any thoughts?

Cheerio!
Olafo
