Godfrey, As I was trying to say, following your advice would mean I'd have to get myself an *istDxxx or something like that. I'm still on film, there's only two P&S digis around here (whereas one of them is an Oly C-5050, which isn't P&S only).
Thel lens arrived yesterday, I'll try it and if it's as good as expected I surely won't regret spending some money on an appropriate hood.
