Chris,
Is it a screw in or slide on (clamp)?
If it's a screw-in, see if it fits a 49mm filter thread. If it does, next
step is try it on a 35-70 MF at 35mm aimed at a light colored, uniformly
lit wall. That will tell you if it vignettes. Ought to work.
If it's a slide-on (clamp), then it may or may not work. The outer
diameters could easily be different, and the only way to tell, unless
someone else already has tried it, is to try it yourself and then repeat
the test outlined above.
One caveat: In testing any hood for vignetting, don't confound the test
with any filters on the lens in addition to the hood (unless you are
specifically testing the combination)!
