I currently use a 150mm lens (49mm) filter thread and a 90mm lens (82mm) thread and I am thinking that a square filter system would be the best route as I already have the holder and required step down rings.

The ones I am looking at are Hitech (see link below) and would value any advice before making the purchase.

I use a the Hitech (aka Formatt, Lucroit) system. I don't own any of their B&W filters but I have a set of their grad filters that seem pretty good. I don't use them that often.

You can use any other 100mm square filters in there as well Lee etc.

I only bought the largest size I needed (77mm) and which I'd just bought the two other sizes of adapter for the holder, they don't cost much. Fiddling with step down rings is annoying.

Do some research on Haida filters; they've been moving up in the filter world and are apparently the most color-neutral of all the big brands out there.
