Thomas:

The 40/2 is also 49 mm, but this is a more understandable anomaly, since it was originally intended to be cute/light/cheap/small, rather than part of the "professional" line.

A quick count of Zuikos shows that 21 use the 49 mm filter size. I'm a little surprised that the 28/2 uses a 49 mm, since the 24/2
and 35/2 use a 55.


Actually, the 85/2 also takes 49mm filters....which, if I recall
correctly, makes it the only two /2 lenses with 49mm filter?

I guess that the design strategy was "49mm, if at all possible,
otherwise 55"...:)

Basically, true on the face of it.  The two exceptions are the
two'floaters', the 35-70/3.5~4.8 and 70-210/4.5~5.6 (the Cossina
lenses) are both 52mm.   Another reason to disown them....
