I used to have one collapsible, together with an UV filter, but it tore apart and I am not using it anymore. I don't think that the 14-42 really requires a shade.

I have never found the Olypus 14-42 wanting for a lens hood and I don't use a UV filter anymore either.

The lens is amazingly resistant to flare for a kit zoom (you can invoke flare if you try really hard). It doesn't need a hood.
