FIlters? I need some help selecting.

I want to buy a good set of filters, cp, nd and grad nd, but i don;t want to buy a set for each one of my lenses. Do they sell ring adapters? If so what filters do you guys suggest. I am from film and i just use to use tiffen and hoya.

What size should i buy? 77mm? And then step them down with an adapter?


Thanks in advance

As far as the grad ND is concerned, I would not go too far with buying a 77mm and then using a step-up ring. To take it to the extreme, if you put the 77mm on a lens that takes a 58mm filter, you will use only the center portion of the filter - not the clear, and not the full ND.

Other than that, the philosophy would work, but you may find that you can't use your hood.

Have Fun,

cool thanks!

For grads, a rectangular one in a filter holder like Cokin's or Lee's would be best; these also take adapter rings for various lens dimeters.

Whatever filter you get, make sure they're good multi-coated ones. I use B+W MRC mostly. Hoya's SHMC and better are also good as are Heliopan. Tiffen's less so. My grads are Singh Rays.
