One tip when buying filters, buy the largest you will need and then step-up rings to adapt that filter onto your smaller lenses. For example, my current filter set is 76mm, if I recall correctly. Then I use a few different step-up rings to adapt that filter size onto my smaller lenses with say a 52mm thread and 72mm thread. By buying one larger set of filters, yes the larger filters do cost more, you are able to spend less money overall by only having 1 set of filters vs having a set of filters for each thread size you own. It's also nicer when packing your gear, less space and less weight.
