[shoplink 32156 ebay][/shoplink]

Many of you will probably soon receive the new [shoplink 31284]Olympus 75mm f/1.8[/shoplink] lens. As you know you have to pay about $80 at Adorama or 80 Euro at Amazon Germany extra to get the hood. 43rumors reader “Mister Roboto” pointed out an interesting alternative:

On eBay (via Hong Kong) you can buy a [shoplink 32155 ebay]standard hood for $15 (Click here)[/shoplink] and a [shoplink 32156 ebay]tele hood for $16 (Click here)[/shoplink].

Mr.Roboto writes: “It’s screw in though- but should match nicely. Eventually I know there’s going to be a knock off one like the one olympus offers (though I’d prefer a screw in).”
