Gentlemen, please stop getting personal about this subject. Information is shared, opinions are stated, others can take what they wish and use it or not.
I, for one, use the 85/1.2 with a 77 to 82 ring and #4 hood. I've seen a very slight vignetting in the corners on a few occasions ...
but it has to be a very flat, even tone being shot. In reality, it is a non-issue for 95% of photography. Manufactures always error on the side of being conservative.
If it is a critical issue for some photographers, then a different hood system should be sought out. For ex&le, the Lee system
has adapter rings for all these lenses, and much more effective baffled shades. There are similar systems made specifically for 35mm lenses which aren't as bulky, but also offer baffled shades.
As usual, it comes down to convenience verses effectiveness.
