[QUOTE="hark, post: 444703, member: 13196"] I disagree. The OP does NOT want a step down ring, and in the situation you just described with buying the filter to fit the largest lens, the OP wants to buy a step UP ring. To the OP...my suggestion is to buy size filter that will fit your largest diameter lens. From what you posted, that would be a 67mm filter. You want a step UP ring that is listed as 58→67. The ring will screw onto the front of your 58mm diameter lens then the filter screws onto the ring. A step down ring would be having a lens that is 67mm in diameter and using a filter that is only 58mm (listed as 67→58). A step down ring will cause vignetting as Fred mentioned. [/QUOTE]
