Idea for solving missing ND problem.

I see some color cast (to my eye, not measured) when I used the LCW fader II. I can compensate in WB pretty easily though... the Sony even allows you to account for that in the menus though I couldn't explain how... I just read it in the manual.
 
I read that as well, and I too am not sure specifically how to account for it either. But, need to get adapter built first THEN I will look at calibrating what I see.
 
The Schneider guys refer to one of the problems as "blue leak" but I'm not sure if that occurs across all the brands of variable ND's.
 
I was thinking of using my Fader ND ULTRA mark II.
Howether when you want to use the lens hood its really anoying if not sometimes impossible on some lenses because the fader is larger than the lens.
So I thaught of buying a rubber lens hood that I would stick on top of the 82mm thread of my 77mm fader; I threfore should be able to change stops by turning the hood.

I'll tell you how it works when it comes in
 
Abort!!! Abort!!!

This method is no good. I just finally got to shoot some daytime footy with the rear NDs. No go. Really screws up the flange distance to the point where I cant even come close to infinity on wide lenses. My 28 and my tokina 11-16 included. I guess it's fader nd and a bunch of step rings for the portable setup....
 
Since I already ordered, going to continue with my experiment! :) Question, with the filter in place, do you need the lens further or closer to the sensor? I am not opposed to modifying my adapter to test.
