C100: Filter Kit

Wondering what people have in their filter kit after the thread on UV Filters.
What do you find you use on a regular basis with your C100/C300?
NDs, Vari NDs, Circular Polarising, UV, IR, etc...

Since getting the C100 I haven't used my external ND filters at all, I've used the cameras internal ones and they have worked great.
I was considering getting a variable ND for times when I need a bit more control though.
Also I could have used a circular polarising filter the other day for some water shots.
 
Circular PL is a very handy filter. For the C100 the rest becomes more about to taste. IR filters def. not required as this sensor doesnt suffer IR contamination.

You may want to look into some ND grads and Promist filters.
 
I film on the water %99 of the time so a circ pol is pretty much attached to my lenses all the time.
 
When I first bought my C300 3 months ago I said, ok lets keep it simple, no filters. But when I got a shoot going to Mexico, I thought a tobacco filter would be nice, maybe a few corals, and of course a pol and some ND grads. After that came the softening filters because I'm just to old school to reduce the C300's ultra sharpness in camera. Now I use a lightweight matte box all the time. So much for keeping it simple!
