Hi, first sorry for my English.

I have a problem, recently buy a RMC Tokina 17mm 3.5, all the reviews says filter diameter 67mm but my unit takes a 72mm filters.

Can be a fake Tokina or a special.

Left two photos.

Can some of you help me?

Looks as someone put a custom screw-in lens hood on it.

Edit: Look at this link, on the other hand...

I have a Tokina-made 17/3.5, sold with the Vivitar brand name applied. It looks much like yours, and has a 72mm filter thread. (Old Vivitar lenses, sold during a specific time period, had the maker’s identity in the first few numerals of the serial number. “37” indicates Tokina.)

Notably, mine is not as completely rectilinear as a Tokina 17/3.5 AF lens I later acquired, perhaps not rectilinear, at all.

Very much thanks.
Seems our lens was a early version as explains in the link posted by mirkoc.

i had a Tokina 17mm RMC that i used with great results for several years. However mine was an SL R.M.C version and i think it was 67mm.

Your lens is better than mine.
