This seems more serviceable than the original supplied with the lens which I found quite flimsy. That came apart quite early on and I had to glue it back together at least twice. This one looks to have a less complicated construction and to be quite sturdy. There's a sliding window to allow adjustment to a polarising filter where fitted which I'll likely find. At a third the price of the Olympus LH66, this is great value

This is a good value mindful of fair price vs quality ratio and low postage costs. The hood can well replace the original Olympus LH-J66, being of abt. the same size and having somewhat similar construction. The additional opening which allegedly makes it possibly for you to rotate the polarizing filter seems a bit superfluous to my opinion and is also covered by very flimsy plastic, which seems easy to break or to loose (though your experience/opinion may certainly differ.) All in all this is sufficiently good replacement.

The original lens hood for the Olympus 12-40 lens is not a very robust design. Mine came apart twice. It has tiny parts and springs which are tricky to reassemble. So far the JJC has held together and seems like a good quality product. The design of the hood attachment on the 12-40 does not seem very secure. I've experienced both hoods being accidentally knocked off the lens. At least the JJC is fairly cheap to replace if you lose it.

This lens hood is really useful if you wish to use a polarising filter as there is an opening in the hood such that you can rotate the filter without having to remove the lens hood. It would be excellent if all the lenshooods had such an opening for filter manipulation.

Feels solid, and fits better than my original olympus lenshood, that this one replaces.
