Nutella Not So Healthy After All..

Very interesting article from dailymail.co.uk about Nutella.

Firstly, some interesting facts about the popularity of Nutella

"A jar is sold every 2.5 seconds globally. The company produces enough Nutella each year to create a smear of spread that would circle the world 1.4 times. Stacked up, the jars would build 22,000 Big Bens."

Secondly, is Nutella is actually not that healthy even with hazelnuts as one of the ingredient

"More than half of Nutella (56.7 per cent) is pure sugar, while 30 per cent is fat. Some of that is the fat found in hazelnuts, but around 20 per cent of the spread is semi-solid palm oil. Just 13 per cent is hazelnuts.
Its makeup — in terms of cocoa, sugar and fat — is almost identical to chocolate. Despite the hazelnuts, there aren’t many healthy nutrients. ­Claiming it’s good for you is like arguing that you get some of your five a day by eating ­Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut."

So will you stop eating Nutella?

JJC Hood for Olympus 45mm f1.8

Olympus 45mm f1.8 is an excellent lens but one of the complaints by user is the omission of lens hood when you buy this lens. Furthermore, the Olympus lens hood can easily cost more than SGD40. That is why there is a market for 3rd party lens hood and JJC is one the provider.

After survey the pricing from different online retailer and i finally decided to get it from ebay which is selling for around SGD14 with free shipping when i make the order. I placed the order on 23 May 2014 and received it on 5 June 2014. I consider this is fast delivery as i did encounter delivery time of more than 1 month when using free shipping.

The packaging is ok and this is very typical packaging when free shipping is used. 

The box of JJC Hood. A bit dented here and there but the lens hood is not damaged.

There is a genuine verification code on the top of the box which you can check whether this is genuine or not.

And the Lens hood itself

And the hood on the 45mm lens. 

The one good thing about this hood is it can be attached in reversible way.

I must say the hood feel a bit wobble when attached to it but it will not fell off from the lens. But with price i pay, i do expect this hood will not be as good as Olympus one but that is something i can live with. So, i do recommend this lens hood if you really need one.
