Hmmmm, time for glasses Olafo? Maybe higher wattage lamps? My clamp-on
reads "50mm F1.4 50mm F1.8 35mm F2.8" so I'm guessing you reversed some
numbers? From the looks of it use on a 28mm would definitely vignette and
suspect it is pretty tight, but OK on a 35mm. Further question is why the
50/1.2 is not listed on the hood. Answer is this hood was designed to be
reversed over the lens for storage, at least on the 50/1.4 and 50/1.8, but
the barrel of the 50/1.2 is too wide for this. There is a different hood
for the 50/1.2 lens that supposedly allows this on its barrel as a result.
Since I don't have one I can't verify that it will fit reversed like the
other one.
