I had in mind UV filters for each lens to use as lens protectors . I’m also thinking about a ND filter or 2 or 3? for each lens, and perhaps a polarizer?

You've got some good recommendations, but I didn't see a mention of step-rings.

Of course if you want UV filters for protection, you'll get one for each lens, but when it comes to ND filters (or any other filters except the UVs), you should be able to get by with a single set at the largest size (82mm works for a collection of GF lenses) and then use step-rings to use them on lenses with a filter size smaller than the largest (such as a 82mm to 72mm, 82mm to 67mm, 82mm to 58mm, etc.)

Step up rings are great, but they are incompatible with using the GF lens hoods.

Thanks for that, Jim. i remember you mentioning that earlier.  If I do wind up using ND filters I’m thinking to buy screw-in filters for individual lenses. - Jack
