In most cases, an 85mm f1.4 lens comes with a hood provided by the lens maker and that included hood would be better for your lens.

Q: 6. Will this hood cause vignetting if used with a 20mm lens on a full frame camera?

A: As the Heliopan 72mm Screw-in Rubber Lens Hood is a universal lens hood, Heliopan does not list a specific focal length or lens for which this lens hood is designed for usage. However, when using a wide angle lens, do note that by rolling back the lens hood, its opening can be made to correspond with a wide-angle lens's angle of view so that vignetting is reduced or eliminated. However, I recommend testing on your own 20mm lens to see if it vignettes, and note that this item may be returned within 30 days of purchase date for a refund or exchange if it does not work for your usage needs.
