    IR-CUT or HOT MIRROR for ND filters ?

    I read lots of thread about that, but nobody gave the final answer (if there is one !)... so when using screw-in ND filter (regular or variable), are the HOT MIRROR better than IR CUT filters ? Because sometimes, it's not really discreet to have a large mirror on front on the lens ! ; ) And...

    Best screw-in variable ND filter in 4K ?

    I know the better is to use regular ND, but in this case, I can't use a mattebox, and can't use a set of regular screw-in ND. So I read on many forums that Kenko NDX and Heliopan are the best (sharpness and color), LightCraft Workshop, Singh-Ray, Schneider are more soft (especially on long...
