As the title says, is there a sharp 50 with a 46mm filter size in M mount?

Lux 50/1.4 Asph & Sonnar 50/1.5 are two that come to mind.

Pre-ASPH Summilux, too.

I have the C-Sonnar and love it.
The 50 lux asph...OUCH! Nobody is permitted to mention that lens again in this thread, okay?!? 😱:bang:😀
Actually the ZM Planar would be perfect, except for the darned 43mm filter size.
A G mount 45/2 converted to M mount might be the ticket, but what a hassle...

43mm to 46mm step up ring, if filter thread is the issue ?

Summilux pre-asph v3 (v1 and v2 are 43).
Other than that, the asph and the Sonnar no other lens comes to mind.
Japanexposures sells 43mm hoods for Nikkor 50/1.4, Summilux v1/v2 and possibly others (you must specify the thread pitch), where the hood can take a 46mm filter; look for "Smart Hood M43".

Filters are cheap, get the lens you really want.

I tend to disagree - a complete basic filter kit (UV, a few colour balancing filters, three black and whites, tungsten-to-daylight and a polarizer) in highest quality may be even more expensive than a lens. It is generally a smart idea to consider the filter size compatibility (or at least adaptability) at least when purchasing your main lens kit.

Dear Scott,
I agree completely. On the other hand, heavy filter users may find this more important than you or I. My wife favours lenses with a 39mm filter size. EDIT: see above.
Cheers,

Just buy the filters : it then opens up your GAS options to far more lenses 😉

Great suggestions here.
The thing is, I'm really groovin' on using the Lee filter system, which requires an adapter to be used. Would be so much easier to just have one adapter for the lenses I'd be using the system with.

How about: leave the adapter on the lens, switch filters.

Even less of an excuse then - it takes only a second to pull the retaining spring on the adapter and change from 43mm to 46mm.
I have the RF75 holder and a series of adapters from 43mm to 67mm each costs less than a hoya round filter.

Well, I guess I specialize in making excuses then 😛
I use the system while carrying a backpack in the outback, and to be honest, those extra seconds spent futzing around with adapter changes detract from my fun factor.
Certainly no sillier than a black light on a black background on a ...

Ok, I see- the adapter change would be one more think that could get lost or roll down the hillside.
The black light, black background - is from The Hitchhiker Guide The Galaxy.

I usually prefer to go without a guide, but I'll have to have a look at that. Love that sardonic sense of humor!!!
