The dedicated Vello LH-61E Lens Hood for Photographyis specifically designed for use with Olympus's Zuiko 70-300mm f/4-5.6 ED & M.Zuiko 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II lenses. It is primarily used to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of it. A dedicated hood is crafted to perfectly suit the specific focal length of the lens it is designed for. Additionally, this hood features a non-glare matte finish on the interior surface to further prevent or limit lens flare. Also, since the end of the lens is extended, you get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.

The bayonet mount is designed to also work in the reversed position, allowing the hood to be placed backwards over the lens for a more compact storage solution. This lens hood features anti-reflective ridges on its interior.

Q: 2. Want to make sure that you can put a 49mm filter onto this lens adapter and then also securely put the lens hood over that?

A: You can put a 49mm filter on the camera and this lens hood over it.

Q: 3. can this hood be put on in reverse for storage?

A: By design it retracts completely on the lens so you do not have to put it on reverse. I tried anyway but did not succeed. May be I did not try correctly but in any case it would not be easy! But because of the retracting design you do not have to do that in any case. It retracts completely just by pushing it back. Putting it reverse would not buy you anything in term of length of the lens. It is a pretty nice design, very convenient to operate.
