On the odd occasion i use a flash i never leave the lense hood on, from
experience it pretty much always causes vignetting. If you need the flash
chance your not in a situation where the hood will be stopping any flare.
Thinking about it now i dont think i've ever used the flash on my MZ5n, i
have on some of my other bodies though.
