Either I should check my use of the English language or you should read
the post more care fuly. The question was, does the 49-72mm adapter
allow the use of filters (72mm) with no further adapters needed, and
yes, with this adapter, most normal sized filters will work, without
vignetting.

No, I don´t mind if someone found an flaw in my use of the English
