My solution is (d). I leave the adapters on the lenses and have all lens
caps the same size too, i.e. in your case 72mm.

Hello folks. I am just getting into large format (4X5) and shoot B&W exclusively. To date I have acquired 4 lenses ranging from 90 to 300 mm, and of course they all need differant filter sizes. Most of my shooting is outdoors.
I have never been a large user of filters, however I feel I need to have them on hand should the opportunity present itself..
I would like not to degrade the lenses I have acquired, and also to keep the costs reasonable. My choices at this point a: Cokin P system starting with their BW Kit, and a polarizer b. Lee 4X4 resin filters c. Lee Snap on rubber band gizmo with their gel set. d. Conventional glass filters, of a size to fit the largest lens (72mm) and adapters for the other lenses.
A set of filters for each lens is not desireable, both from a cost and carrying limitations
Item C. is by far the lowest in cost US$60+ and appears to sove the problem but just seems to gimicky?
Comments on these alternatives or other suggestions welcome.
