Product Information
Full details
The OM System LH-61E Lens Hood is an essential accessory designed for photographers using the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75-300mm F4.8-6.7 II lens who want to improve image quality and protect their optics. By blocking unwanted peripheral light, it effectively reduces lens flare and ghosting in bright conditions, while serving as a sturdy physical barrier against accidental damage to the front element; however, users should note that it is precision-engineered for this specific lens model and may not be compatible with other lenses in the OM System lineup.

FAQs
Does this fit the original 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 (version I)?
No, this hood is specifically designed for the version II (II) of the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75-300mm lens.
Can I use a lens cap while the hood is attached?
Yes, standard lens caps are designed to clip onto the front of the lens regardless of whether the hood is mounted in the operating or reversed position.
Will this hood cause vignetting on my images?
When attached correctly, the LH-61E is precisely calibrated to the field of view of the 75-300mm lens and will not cause vignetting.
Is the material plastic or metal?
The LH-61E is constructed from high-quality, durable engineering plastic, chosen for its lightweight properties and ability to absorb impact.
Can I store the lens with the hood attached?
Yes, you can reverse the hood to keep the lens compact for storage within most camera bags.
Troubleshooting
Hood feels loose or wobbles
Ensure the hood is rotated fully into the locked position until a distinct click is felt.
Visible vignetting at wide angles
Check that the hood is not installed crookedly; if the issue persists, ensure no other filters are stacked in a way that causes physical obstruction.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Provides physical protection against front element damage
- Perfect fit specifically for the M.ZUIKO 75-300mm II lens

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the LH-61E, align the markings on the hood with the mounting index on the lens barrel, then twist clockwise until it clicks into place. For storage, many users prefer to reverse the hood onto the lens barrel, which keeps the total package compact inside a camera bag.
To keep the hood in top condition, wipe it down with a soft, lint-free cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the non-reflective matte finish on the interior of the hood. Ensure the mount remains free of sand or debris to prevent wear on the lens barrel over time.
