The hood I have is a slide-on. It has molded into the rubber "35-70 3.6". It
is a very ingenious design. At the short focal length (35mm) the front lens
element moves forward (the lens gets longer) and so you don't vignette. As
you zoom the lens, the front retracts, so the lens hood functions to
properly block extraneous light for the 70mm length. I was astounded to see
how this worked, as any zoom lens hood must be a compromise unless the lens
and hood are designed as a system... as this one is. Olympus design wizardry
in your hand!
