I have a 67mm haida nd3.0 filter which has a 67mm thread. It came with a 67 to 62mm ring which i use on my 18-135 lens. I have a sigma 10-20mm lens which has a 77mm thread. Could i use a couple of rings (77 to 72 and 72 to 67) to make a 67mm filter fit a 77mm lens?
Would the lower diameter filter affect the image on a larger diameter lens...ie vignetting?
Or should i be looking to get a 77mm filter, and use step down rings to fit all my lower diameter lenses.

Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.
