>>184206 I don't know, but I hate the idea of unified filter sizes. Most people- especially today, with digital- will only have a few filters: a polarizer, an ND, a GND, and maybe a soft focus filter, and a protective filter if they shoot in shitty conditions or like to pretend they do. Filter cost is not a huge issue, and is easily resolved by step-up rings.
So what's wrong with it? I guarantee you some of these lenses (like the poster I'm quoting points out) are made artificially large and bulky to fit that standard. Fast autofocus zoom lenses are already huge enough; doing anything to inflate them is dubious, doing it with no benefit except saving people who drop $1,000 on a lens as a business expense the cost of a step-up ring is stupid.
