"Landscapes exist in the material world yet soar in the realms of the spirit..." Tsung Ping, 5th Century China
I have two of the Gelsnap holders, one came with an ND kit of 3 filters: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...Polyester.html (Amazon has it in stock too, $70)
And another came with a kit of some B&W filters (red, yellow, one other, can't remember)
Here's Lee's page on the holder, where they specifically mention mounting it behind the lens for LF: http://www.leefilters.com/index.php/...-filter-holder
I have a wide angle hood with 2 slots that I usually use, and I have a Lee adaptor on most every LF lens I use, but I kept the Gelsnap holders, as they are handy.

SomerRandom thoughtsnot deeply examined yet:
Various in-front of the lens shutters; Thornton-Pickard comes to mind. I see them on e-bay from time to time. Another option might be a front mounted leaf shutter from an oscilloscope lens; also on e-bay at low-ish prices at times.
Neutral density filter(s) to slow down the exposure and a "top-hat" to open and close the exposure.
Inserting a stop if possible for the same result as above.

There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
I have used a large Packard shutter mounted behind the front standard of my 8X10 camera for may years. I just learn to live with the slow speeds by using slow films and papers. Personally, I rarely use any filters.
Hi Randy, that is what I have been doing for years, but like I mentioned in the original message, I want to make some silver gelatin enlargements and using regular sheet film makes that a lot easier. I've received some really good ideas from the group here and I have some things on order...
