Thanks, Vieri.
You are very welcome Slobodan, happy to help!
Thanks for the well thought out and executed review. One additional parameter of interest for me, and I suspect for others, is the ease of use / workflow of the filter system “as a whole.” Since several of the brands were reasonably close in terms of quality, how were they to use “as a system” in the field? Did any of them stand out as the most functionally efficient, or even pleasurable to use?

Hey Rand, thank you very much, glad you found it interesting. About your question, as mentioned in the article there is another article dedicated to filter holders where I will analyse workflow and such. Coming soon!
Thanks Vieri for your analysis. Maybe you can help me. I shoot 4x5 large format. I have a Nikkor 90mm f4.5 lens. It requires a 82mm filter. However, I also have a Schneider IV center filter that mates with the Nikkor. The center filter requires 105mm filters. Since I shoot BW and color, I use graduated ND, BW contrast like red and yellow, as well as polarizer filters.
What would you recommend for the 105mm center filter? I can't put filters between the center filter and lens as it will cause vignetting. They have to be mounted on the outside of the Schneider center filter.
Hey Alan, you are very welcome, glad to help. For your conundrum, I am afraid you would need to move up to a 150mm square filter system, no 100mm square filter system will do with a 105mm filter thread. Kase, NiSi, Wine Country Camera and Breakthrough offer 150mm systems, Kase and NiSi also offer even larger ones, in case 150mm wouldn't be enough (170mm and 180mm). Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Vieri
