I have a 72mm Hutech filter screwed to the rear element of the Tak, which works great, but I can also get away with a 48mm screwed into the T-Mount adapter, I use either.

If you like I could send up the 48mm one to you to give it a try, and if that fixes the problem than you have your answer.

Thanks leon,
I've contacted the dealer in HK who I bought the filter from - hopefully he'll replace it with a 67mm filter and all will be well!
Before I send it back though, I'll try it out at different focal lengths and with my 50mm lens.
I can also reverse mount the filter so that the glass element of the front filter is a few mm further back from the rear lens element.
Otherwise I like the performance of these filters

Doug
