Something we can agree on Walt ;-)
I use a 49-62mm step up an a number of 62mm filters on a 21/3.5. Why 62mm?
'cos that's what I had lying around. I'm sure that a 49-55mm ring would
allow mounting the thickest 55mm polariser on a 21/3.5 without vignetting -
and you need 55mm filters anyway, right? Absolutely the cheapest solution.
