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.
Too late!!

Went to Jessops last night but they didn't have any in stock so ordered one from warehouse express. To be honest I don't anticipate getting any more filters for my current lense, may well upgrade at a later date!

BTW, are there any instances where using a polariser world be of no benefit...or is it something most folks leave attached for all shots and lighting situations?
