Can't imagine I'm the first who has thought to do this. > Input would be just wonderful. > I would advise not doing that!! I have for instance 55mm filters which fit my 90 Asph and 24. But when i have my yellow green on my 90 and i switch to the 24 i have to unscrew it and put it on the 24. In other words forget it. So i switch to the 35 instead which has the 39mm yellow green on it. Or I'll use the 90 Elmarit instead of the Summicron as the Elmarit has a 46mm yellow green on it so i can use the 55mm for the 24. In other words you'll be often glad you have more than one of the same filter in different sizes. Step downs are a downer.
