[LargeFormat] Advice, please !

Another approach to the filter size question is to pick a size, say 82mm. 
Then buy a step-up ring for each lens. That way you are not letting your 
investment in filters affect your lens selection. I've done this and it 
works well. For my Nikon 300mm f5.6 lens, the step-up ring was mounted on 
the rear element because the front is larger than 82mm.
