I've got common round glass filters (rather than Cokin, etc.) in 58mm and 77mm and step-down rings to the other sizes I need (49, 52, 55, 72). But I don't use filters very often, so I'm surely no expert. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
How do you shade your filters when using a big one on a little lens. Not being able to use hoods has kept me from doing that myself (and kept me with mostly with lenses bereft of filters).
