There <i>is no hood for the Olympus 17mm</i>. I can certainly use the extra stop-and-a-half, and I have learned to enjoy the shallow depth of field available with fast lenses wide open.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749942763035029635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754037359690107642.post-60416572948014489062010-08-29T12:12:03.873-04:002010-08-29T12:12:03.873-04:00It's an odd thing, but my Camera Happiness Lev...It's an odd thing, but my Camera Happiness Level does go up when I'm using the set with the hood. I've always liked the way the 20/1.7 looks on the GH1, but the hood just gives it a little extra `tude. It's still small, and most importantly it's still small enough to fit in the same slot in my camera bag, but now it just seems a little tougher.Matthew Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134787874718415563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754037359690107642.post-14204294063846997442010-08-29T09:54:25.719-04:002010-08-29T09:54:25.719-04:00There is a look about a tool that telegraphs it...There is a <i>look</i> about a tool that telegraphs it's abilities, and that is as satisfying to the senses as the use and the output of the tool itself. It this particular case, it is the lens hood that adds to the <i>je ne sais quoi</i> of the lens and the camera. This is but another example of how important the little details are in overall design.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749942763035029635noreply@blogger.com
