e: 24mm Lens Hoods

Bob is quite right: The HAMA, like any rectangular hood, is not designed for lenses that use a rototing front element. HAMA markets the hood for focal lengths from 24mm through 35mm.It is probably only marginally useful at reducing flare at the 35mm setting, but it does serve to protect the lens.
