I bought a P holder and some filters for it because it was the only way
for me to effectily filter my large format lenses. They don't have filter
threads, I either had to use Series 6/7 push on rings or the COkin
universal adapter.

The Cokin system has teh added benefit of fitting on every thing I own
with the universal ring. This ring makes it a little difficult to work
with,, though, so I did end up buying a 49, 52, and 58mm rings.

That's probably the easiest way, especially since between the 28-70/4 and
the 70-210 you'll have the same lengths covered by a lens of lesser
reputation.

If you buy them all in the same size, with step up rings, you can cover it
better.. I'd probably buy into either 52 or 58 if I were going with round.

Stick with the P series, and the few 49mm filters I have laying around,
still.
