I've got a N*kkor lens I can use the 62mm with, though it's been a while since I've used my N*kon outfit for more than a roll or two.

Unfortunately, I don't like working with stepping rings, so if I like this moose polarizer, I'll probably eventually get one at least in 49mm and 55mm. I'll have to really like it to get a 72mm.

Since the 62mm fits the 35-80, it will at least get a workout in the meantime.

I have a Schneider-Kreuznach 6-70mm F1.4 power zoom for my Super-8 rig and it takes 62mm filters, so I have a dozen or so 62mm filters sitting around and that helps. Then I discovered that wide open I was getting vignetting with 62mm filters, so I got a step-up lens hood that accepts 72mm filters and I'm in the process of buying a bunch more expensive glass, so the 62mm stuff is kind of being grandfathered into the OM setup. It's all going to the 35-80mm f2.8 for starters, but step-up rings for the other lenses are inevitable at this point.

I just bought one of those moose circular polarizers from B&H. For the 35-80/2.8. 62mm. Ouch.

Got a 49-62 step-up ring.  Being such a practical guy...
