p.1 #1 · Panasonic 12-35/2.8: Loose Lens Hood?

I've been pretty satisfied with the 12-35/2.8 on my GH-2, but I've noticed that after taking the lens hood on and off maybe 10 times it's become very loose and very easily turns and is starting to not stay put either in the stored/backward position or in use.

Has anyone else seen this and is there a quick way to fix it?

If there's no fix where can I find a replacement one - can't seem to find it on the Panasonic web site.

Thanks -

John

Yes I had the same issue, didn't quite feel snappy tight even the first time I mounted it.

I haven't found a fix for it

Thanks - I'll give Panasonic a call and see if they can give me another to try.
