Annoying to me as well. My 12-50 didn't come with a hood, and the
factory hood is also stupid money, so I got one from JJC as well that
works just fine. Rectangular, allows use of the factory lens cap
(albeit without the logo, since it came unglued about a month in and
dropped off somewhere).
The 20/1.7 didn't come with a hood, either. I found a nice metal one
that works with a pinch cap I found.
