Luca in Italy suggests using filter size adapter rings, to avoid having to buy the same filters in different sizes. For instance, if you have the 80mm Arsat lens, which takes 62mm filters, buy a 62mm to 67mm step-up ring and 67mm filters, which you can then also use on the 120mm Biometar and most of the Joseph Schneider lenses.
