Lens hood and filter thread adapter

So I am thinking about buying the 50-200 for a travel/climbing telephoto because the 50-150 can be a beast. I was wondering if anyone has seen an adapter that screws onto the 58mm lens hood threads and steps up both the lens hood threads and filter threads at the same time. That way my ‘S’ lens hoods and filters will fit onto the 50-200.

I know they have filter thread step-ups but with these rings on you cannot fit a lens hood over top of them and I would have to carry two lens hoods.

I don’t use lens hoods very often but like to have one stashed in my bag just in case... I dont want to carry two hoods “just in case”.
