ND Filter for wide angle lenses

[Santos Ramos]

Hello everyone! I just got the scarlet but I can't use it till I get the monitor and power!

The details:
I'm planing to do a lot lot of walking/hiking to shoot stock footage.
I will be shooting during the mornings ( 6am -10am) and afternoons ( 2pm to sunset ) and keep the aperture around f5-f8 @ ISO 800.
A usual hot summer clear sky day in the DMV (the "Sunny 16" rule)
Screw-in filters would be best for my needs! or clip-on matte box would be great! I don't want to hike old rag with matte box and rails!
The lenses I plan to use - Tokina 11-16 and Canon 17-40

The questions!
Would these ND filters cover my needs? Hard question and guesstimate here.
0.6 ND (no IR filtration)
0.9 ND (no IR filtration)
1.5 ND+IR

The Tokina and Canon take 77mm filters. What I would like to know is, will they vignette at any focal?

If I get the 4x4 ND filters:

Will they vignette at any focal length with only the Lee filter holder system using the standard 77mm Lee adapter?
Will they vignette at any focal length if I use a matte box?

Here is the matte box I would get.

Thanks for the help!

I'd consider graduated and attenuator NDs as well for nature footage.

Thanks Jim! I'm only familiar with the audio attenuator!

Can you post a link?

My redrock Mattebox Vignettes around 20-22mm (full frame)...screw ins are the only option sometimes .. Bright Tangerine make a matte to suit ultra wides I believe ..

And personally I'd feel better investing in 4x5.65 Filters

You may find you don't need any ND at 6am-10am too.. Grads are amazing though, and polorizers (but no good if too wide)
