Nor does my 50 mm 3.5 Elmar. I could easily but not that I'd ever notice Nor my 50mm 1.4 AI Nikkor. Nor my 50mm 1.8 AID Nikkor which I used this week. Nor my 50mm Color Skopar 2.8 lens on my Voigtl?nder Vito BL Nor my 50mm Noctilux Nor my 50mm Schneider Componon 2.8 Nor my 50mm El Nikkor 2.8 Nor the "normal" lenses I use on my Rolleiflex, Hasselblad, Speed Graphics of medium and large formats, Calumet Cambo NX, and Olympus Pen Ft If they made them I would buy anti anti vignetting filters. As I prefer darkened edges. Something I almost always do in processing later in the darkroom or here at my laptop anyway. I was just curious why a 50mm 1.4 lens would need a 77 filter size.
