I remember 50mm f/1.4 is 55mm thread, while 50mm f/1.7 is 49mm thread, not sure is there a f/1.7 with 55mm thread or not.:dunno:

I have seen TK Foto & AP both have f/1.4 not sure about the f/1.7 though. Cost at least $410 now, Use to be $315 only. Not sure about the price of f/1.7, may be can check the price list in sticky?
