Hey guys,
I've been looking into getting both 6 stop and 10 stop ND filters from Breakthrough (around $380ish US for both), and although I'm aware that 77mm is the most common filter thread (I currently have a 77mm CPL), I was thinking about whether or not I should start investing in 82mm filters instead. I don't currently have any lenses with 82mm threads, but I know that most standard zooms on full frames (e.g. tokina 24-70 f2.8) have this thread size; and so I don't want to keep investing in 77mm filters (even if I don't have any lenses with this filter thread at the present) if it means that by the time I want specific lenses with 82mm filter threads, I can't use it unless I use step down rings which will just cause vignetting anyways.
However, most wide angle lenses on FF use 77mm threads, so the other problem could be if I were to use step up rings on that along with a filter (or two stacked), it could cause vignetting anyways.
I'm pretty confused as to what to do. What are your thoughts on this?
