Just a suggestion but if you want a screw-in ND why not look for a vari-ND?

Hi
I use Cokin P series on most lenses but can not be bothered attaching all that kit to my little 50mm prime - so use circular screw in B+W ND4 and ND8 on this lens - they are not cheap but have always performed well.
What to avoid? Same as always - filters at a price too good to be true

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

There are always the Tiffen ones - wide range and fairly good quality (plastic lens, but OK. They may shatter under impact, but they don't break - have one to prove it when the GX10 fell after the strap failed!
See here: http://www.tiffen.com/
OTOH, I quite like the idea of the variable ones!

K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

I've plumped for a set of hitech filters as Teamwork photo & Digital have a offer on for 3 x Grad filters and 3 x ND filters ( both slot in type) for £100 + vat. do like the idea of the fader one though as well.

Has anyone got any experience with the screw in filters rather than the square slot in type. Any recommendations and things to avoid?
