I was standardized on filter size 67mm until just recently, when for some reason I bought a G-Claron 355mm, which takes a 77mm filter. Before I start building up a second series of filters (for just one lens), I am considering using a 77mm-to-67mm step-down ring, to use my existing 67's. Presumably this will vignette a little bit, but maybe not a lot, and given the large coverage of the G-Claron, I'm hoping that it will not impede on normal movements, at least on my 4x5, but also hopefully up to 8x10.
Am I dreaming, or is this a possibly ok idea? Anyone with experience using stepdown rings, please chime in with your opinions.
Currently I am using 5 filters: yellow, red, green, polarizer, and ND grade. TIA,
