Or you can buy the el cheapo China made flimsy aluminum ones for 1/5th the price.
These really are crap too in my experience. Loose fitting on the bayonet side, and the threads on the other side easily bind to filters.

The Heliopan No. 318 adapters are wonderful, however they are expensive, I've seen these listed new for nearly $90 US.
I bit the bullet and bought this and have no regrets. They are very expensive, but I wasted money getting to this point. It's sort of like a tripod. Just buy the last one first.
These seem crazy, but when combined with lovely B&W multicolored brass ring filters it's money well spent!
If you can find the genuine Heliopan beautiful made in Germany brass Bay 60 to 67mm buy these. They're expensive, but I use these with B+W MRC filters. None better.

There is Heliopan and then there is the rest of them. Night and day in quality and pleasure in use. Save on beer and cigars, if you must, but get Heliopan. I only suffered from price paid until unboxing moment.
In the end don’t forget about lens shading options. With 77mm filters you loose pretty much on all normal choices as the combination will not fit any fixed shades.
Proshade 6093T has drop down function and accepts gelatine filters, simplest filtering option for Hass. Sure, the shade takes some space in the bag, but it is universal for all lenses with just two 60&70 mounting rings (and B50-60 adapter if you need to use it on older lenses).
For the filters that were not B60 I chose 67mm filters so that I could still use the lens hoods.
This does work, but OP is talking 77mm.
You can do the same thing with a B70 to 77mm step up ring, and the Hasselblad B70 hoods will still fit over it. I've done it with my 50mm CFi.
That’s one lens and not what OP was after, or is it?
I assume the same would work for any native B70 lens, which at least partially answers the OP's question.
For the B60 lenses, you could use a B60 to B70 adapter, then a B70 to 77mm adapter. However in this setup obviously the native hoods would no longer be an option.
Main point was to look into shading options before jumping all in, because it will affect how the whole set up goes together. Once I realised this problem I started seeing advantages of 6093T shade as ultimately universal solution. The only problem being gelatine filters not on par with top quality glass options. But for most of what I do this is not an issue. For those who need proverbial "eye lashes" tack sharp it might be.
