I'm looking to buy a filter that will fit all or most of my lenses...mainly my 10-24 and 24-70 for landscape... would be great on my 35mm prime too.
They have mm sizes, but I don't know how to match that up to my camera because the mm seems to be different on the lens than the filter.
How do I know what mm to get for a filter?
thanks
Dave

Strictly lens dependent--nothing to do with the camera.
I have a filter permanently on every lens I own that'll take one. If somebody else wants to give you the speech about getting a 77mm filter or bigger and using step-up rings, they'd be better at that than me.
Buy 77mm filters and then a step up ring for the 35 - say a 52 to 77 step up ring.
Never buy a step down ring.
If the lenses are Nikon lenses, the caps will show the mm size on the back of the cap, and the 10-24mm is a 77mm as is the 24-70mm. What the 35mm is depends upon the aperture.
What is more concerning for the 10-24mm is the thinness of the filter. It will need to be super thin or it will vignette at the corners.
Don't scrimp or filters, either. Good lenses require good filters.
My best,
Mike
THANKS!!
@tiCreativeMedia I'd get (and have both) the Nikon or B+W thin circular polarizes.
My best.
