That's not going to work on the M50 f1.7 or the FA 50 f1.4 without a
step ring. The filter he want's is the one that came with the M 85mm f2
and M 100 f2.8. I use that one regularly with my 43mm limited. Be
aware however the clips on that hood are made of "Mouser Hair"® I
ended up destroying an old scratched up UV filter (HOYA by the way), and
gluing it to the hood for the threads.

I used a number of the 50mm lenses when I was shooting with Pentax
cameras: M50/1.4, A50/1.4, A50/1.7, F50/1.7, FA50/1.4 and A50/2.8
Macro. There's no substantive difference in the tendency to flare for
any of the 50/1.4s, and not much different to the 50/1.7s. A deep lens
hood is required for the DSLR bodies, much deeper than the original
equipment hood (you need a hood for about an 85mm lens).
Indeed. When I used the 50/1.2 on a 1.6x crop sensor camera, I found a
great Pentax lenshood that fit and worked a treat. Better: it was a clip
on - can't remember the model but you can see it here, and the eagle-
eyed will ID it:
