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.
That is a top tip andy....thanks for that....

oh by the way i think the nikon lens has the filter size on the lens cap....mine do.
