I have just been onto SRS, the lens hood for the 18-55 is £27.99 and for the 50-200 £23.99 so will try and get them from the States. Seems a ridiculous price for the hood for a cheap lens, strangely the two WR hoods are only £7.99 each.............it's a shame they don't fit the cheaper lenses!

Sorry it's a bit off topic but I am bit curious about your switch to Olympus too..I recently switched from Olympus to Pentax, the Oly lenses are great but I found the 4/3rds sensor very noisy at higher ISO's...

I use filters and alway put the lens cap back on, except when the lens is on the camera and in use I put the lens cap in my pocket and then can't find it again. I have scratched one filter badly, while bending over with the camera round my neck and scraping it across a rock. OCD has it's benefits you see.

I didn't know that, I will give them a call tomorrow, thanks for that! Hopefully because their listing is incorrect they will make a deal!

Thanks for that David, that's a more realistic price, I will order it from them, didn't look at USA sites. Thanks again.Rgds, Jon

Mystery solved...they have the wrong pic on their website, the lens hood they are selling for £7.99 is for the 50-200 WR lens and does not look anything like the picture!

In fact just tried the lens hood from my WR lens, it is the same size but it does not fit, the mounting lugs or whatever you call them are different. In fact just noticed the part number on my WR 18-55 is PH-RBC which does not match what they say on SRS....very strange!

That hood is not the right size...Part number I am looking for is PH-RBA 52mm and that hood is PH-RBD 49mm. That one is for the WR lens, a bit bizarre that is £20 cheaper.....

I have been on their website and the only one I could find was £27.99? Do you have a link please?
