Hey, that's nothing. My old Vivitar 28/2.5 from the 70s takes a 72mm filter. At least it's a common size, although big and pricy. I never had any filters for it back then. All the Zuiko 28s, including the f2.0, take 49mm filters, but I couldn't afford them back then.

Let me get this straight.  This lens is a 28mm f/2.8 with a 67mm filter 
ring????  What the heck were those boys smoking when they
designed that one?  Or maybe in 1972, Dilbert's manager approached the 
designers like this:

"We have some parts lying around that we need to use up.  If we put a big front 
on a modest lens will it look more impressive?  The
machine shop has a surplus of 67mm rings from our canceled contracts with 
Howitzer......"


The Zuiko 28/2.8 is what?  49mm?  I know my 3.5 was.
