Picking up a 3 stop and 6 stop ND filter for those low fstop outdoor scenes. Is the internal IR filter adequate to handle the extra ND or should I think about an IRND option? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
If you get a six stop filter of any kind it really best have IR protection in it. Three stops is likely OK but it couldn’t hurt to have similar blockage.
 
Would anybody have a good IRND recommendation? Preferably round screw-in versions to be used without Mattebox.
 
One piece of advice: never save money on anything that goes in front of your lens. You didn't buy a 5.7k hyper-sharp camera just to go sticking some crappy Hoya or cheapo filter on the front of it. Look to the premium brands, like Schneider or B+W, and if it seems like a really inexpensive deal, forget it and move on.
 
Thank you all for the reply. I was looking at the Firecrest Ultras. Expensive, but not too bad for a circular. I’ve used and liked
Break Through’s X4s and their magnetic versions seem intriguing, but no IR built in. Thanks again!
