Ok, card's on the table, even though I have yet to shoot a single sheet of 10x8, I am starting to research filters for a future purchase.
Unless Fuji re-introduce Velvia 50 to the European & US markets, and lets hope all the new Intrepid 10x8 backers give Fuji a kick to do so, I am only ever likely to shoot Ilford black and white. Having only ever shot FP4+ and HP5 with my Fuji GF670 I do know that I want red, yellow, orange and, possibly, green filters for the 10x8. Being only 40.5mm thread size these were relatively inexpensive even though I bought Heliopan.
I currently own a Schneider 240mm Apo-Symmar which has a 77mm filter thread and whilst I have no immediate plans, or funds, to buy another lens if I did at some point in the future it would likely be a Symmar 360mm which has a 112mm filter thread.
I have never owned a Lee-type slot filter system but, I presume, they must have some advantages over the circular type such as gradients etc.
As either system will be a significant investment which system should I go for and why?
Do I need grad filters (noob question, I know) when just shooting B&W?
Will I be able to use the Lee 100 system with a Symmar 360mm?
If I never get a second lens the Heliopan system will be cheaper but if I do plan to buy a 360mm then it would make sense to start building a Lee set-up now.
Your guidance is appreciated
