Thanks for the suggestions. Which filter do you have in mind that costs 200$? I was thinking of getting this one, which costs 129$ for the 46mm/52mm version. It seems to be double threaded but I need to verify that. The Hoya Fusion that ended 1st place in the last LensTip comparison is about half the price and I consider it as well.

58mm - I have the top-of-the-line polarizers from both Heliopan and B+W (but unfortunately only one takes filters on the front ...)

All my lenses are in the range of 37-52mm, so I was thinking of sticking to 52mm. It looks like using a step-up to 52mm, a filter or two, and then a 3-state hood will be the easiest configuration that covers all my lenses. I hope it won't vignette.

You'll get vignetting at the wider extremes, but just pretend you did it on purpose using Instagram
