For my Blackmagic Cinema camera I purchased a Hot Mirror as advised. I also have a set of ND's and a Tru-Pol filter. Does the Hot Mirror hit light first and then any filter afterwards towards the sensor? Again, I own a Hot Mirror, ND's, and a Polarizer . thanks
 
If you think about light being reflected then the second filter will reflect the light it reflects back onto the first filter which will then bounce it back onto the second.

ie Im guessing the strongest filter should be at the front of the stack.. ie furthest from the camera.?

Thanks for the input. The Hot Mirror is particularly important in getting rid of the noise pollution. Therfore shouldn't the pollution be removed first then apply filters afterward?
