What?
I've talked about Lee because it's the holder system that I'm familiar with. I made a point of saying in my first post "I'd suggest that you also have a look at competing products by Formatt Hitech and NiSi". There's also Freewell, which has a fairly new system called K2. Bob referred to Benro. I have no idea why nobody is discussing any of these companies, but it certainly isn't my fault. Is there a system they make that you can talk about? Is there anything you can add about Lee or Smallrig? Are there any statements of fact that I made that you'd like to point out are wrong? Do you have anything substantive to add to the discussion?
This is the full content of a message that I sent to the original poster a few hours ago:
There are options that aren't being discussed in this thread but should be. Check out NiSi, Benro, Formatt Hitech and Freewell. They've all started offering systems in the last few years.
If you're interested in the matte box route, you could also check out Tiltall.
There's also the option of going with screw-in filters, standardising around a specific size. Myself, I use Lee but I'm also standardised on 82mm screw-in filters. I haven't said anything about that because you don't appear to be interested in screw-in filters.

I have always found darr to be very generous and genuine with her help and advice on this forum. Your nit-picking of her posts sounded unnecessarily aggressive and unpleasant. You're kind of still coming across that way, to be honest...
But I should watch my tone too... apologies.

OK, this whole thread has turned into an argument, and that wasn’t my intent. I asked a simple question and it turned into a lot of zealous advocacy for one product or another. I don’t need a matte box and I don’t need a hood. I asked a simple question about filter sizes. I’m moving on; if you want to keep arguing have at it.
one filter or holder size, step rings for each different sized lens to fit the single size holder or filter.
problem solved!
