The LH-48 is a square-cut lens hood developed specifically for the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm 1:2.0 and can be mounted to keep extraneous light from entering the lens on backlit shots. This high value lens hood is made of metal perfectly fitting to the design and material of the high end 12mm lens. Due to the screw mechanism the lens hood can be secured to the lens in any position and gives more flexibility for transportation.
