Stop Matt - 52mm is about the smallest you can get - I have a load of 52 mm filters from my film days when Nikon made a lot of lenses with a 52 mm filter thread. These days they have a much wider range, from 52 mm upwards. If you intend to get more glass in the future - plan ahead. I get 77 mm filters which will do for the majority of my 20 odd lenses and I use stop down rings to attach them to those with smaller filter threads - a 62 mm and a 67 mm step down ring cover most. My 70 - 200 mm f2.8 AFs VR takes a 77 mm threaded filter as does the 24-70. Step down rings cost pennies compared to full filters.
