Re the 3.6 Zuiko; the lenshood is actually static relative to the main body
of the lens which contains the focussing and zooming rings, but the front
part of the lens moves forward inside the lenshood when the lens is zoomed
from 70 to 35mm. Thus the lens has a shallow hood at 35mm, and a deep hood
at 70mm.
