I have a metal front and rear 77mm stack caps, so all of my filters are in one place. I had to pass on a couple of wide-angle lenses that had filter threads wider than 77mm, but I passed them up because of their size, weight, and cost -- NOT because of their filter size. My widest lenses -- 37mm, 47mm, 75mm, and 105mm -- all work great with my 77mm filters (even a polarizer on a FISHEYE!).
