Yes step rings are used all the time.

I have step-up rings glued to all my lenses, to make the front thread standard (in my case, 49mm for the very small lenses, 67mm for everything else; none of my lenses requires filters bigger than 67mm).

What are the best brands of ND filters you use?

I have both 4x5.56 filters and screw-on filters.

These are what I use for my screw-on ND set in 77mm.... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...INDPROKT_77mm_Indie_Pro_Infrared_Neutral.html

Depending on what camera you're using, you might need IR NDs (NDs that block IR light) which are more expensive, but also keep your footage from having a brownish red hue.

As for Variable NDs, SLRMagic is probably the best, GenusTech makes a pretty good one, Tiffen's probably about the same, Syrp is intriguing, but there aren't many reviews on it.

I use Hoya ProND filters. According to this thread, they are the best ND filters that don't cost an arm and a leg.
