Get a full set of stepping rings, and that 82mm is the only filter you'll ever need.

Looking to the future, the DFA 24-70 is also 82mm and the 70-200 is 77mm, so you'd be good to go.

Edit: I prefer getting specific filter rings (e.g. 77-67, 77-49) rather than sets (77-67, 67-49) as I feel the fewer rings stacked reduced the risks of vignetting and stuck filter threads. YMMV. It also makes lending out a specific filter and step-up ring much easier.

But a full stacked set also doubles as a hood!

Last night, I met the seller, looked at the lens (more than perfect condition), took few test shots.
That sealed the deal!

Thanks again everyone!

Pentax 10-17mm (fish-eye) compared to Sigma 10-20mm F4-5,6?
