Not so odd Tom - I have a few and have had a couple of lenses that used
them. It is the intermediate standard size between the more common 58mm and
67mm. I bought a 49-62mm step up ring to use them on wides) You want odd? -
just got stuck with a 60mm from an ebay deal (buy a 55 B+W UV and over
three months later, receive a 60mm!) What does that sucker fit?
