Alan,
I faced the same dilemma as you do.
Here's what I did:
- got a 72 mm lens Nikon cap for the Nikon 62 mm Polarizer.
- stacked the polarizer onto the 6T filter
- put a filter stacking cap at the back of the 6T filter
- for the 77 mm polarizer, I got a 82 mm Pentax snap-on cap
for the front, and a 77 mm cap for the back (the 77 mm cap
slides over the threads.
Thus, I end up with two compact packages. If I only use my 62mm glass
(like 35-70 and 20) I only bring the 6T/62mm pol.
A respectable pro shop should carry these caps. I rejected the 77 mm
stacking cap because the cost approx. USD 50, the slide on cap was
about USD7.
