Filter size is 52mm...

If you use the 24mm pancake lens (for street, travel, etc.) do you pretty much reserve that for use alone with no accessories (filters, etc.) at all and the associated limitations and then use your other lenses when you need polarizing and/or ND filters, etc.?

It only has a 52mm filter size... So filters for it will not be expensive. I'd use my old film era 52mm Toshiba linear pol. filter on it without hesitation.

Thanks. Just weighing whether to bother with a few step-up rings and complementing it with a 50mm 1.8 STM lens or just leaving it alone.

Why step up rings? That adds weight. 52mm filters are many and cheap. I bought a 43mm size circular pol. filter especially for my EF-M 22mm f2 (brand: Marumi) for I think around 25 dollars and did not consider step up rings.

Tomorrow's the big NYC trip so I'll see how it goes with just the 24mm lens and nothing else.
