Mmm, this reminds me I still need to get a ciripol for my 24-105 lens. It's 77mm as well, my other lenses are 52mm from memory.
So what is the story with this close up lens / filter thing?? It's a filter, but for close ups?? I've never struck it before, is it a new thing, or am I just sheltered??
And for the list of what I have, i've got a Canon 400D with a 100-300 USM and a 24-105L IS USM. Damn I love L glass!!! Need to replace the 100-300 with L glass, it's just too soft after using the 24-105!!

For the CPL get a B+W Kasseman and you won't regret it.
The Canon 500D - yes you are sheltered - has been around for a long time. Close-up filters are the poor cousin to macro lenses, the 500D is the best of them though. They are $330 in Australia but you can pick them up off the net for about $150 delivered. Its a dual lens, 2 diopter magnifier and works best with lenses of 70mm and longer. Inifinity focus is brought down to about 0.5m.
Google it and you will learn more.
