Hey just wanted to get feedback on the 2 or 3 filters you recommend to have on hand now that I have a mattebox. It's my first foray into having a mattebox and wanted to know which ones I should definately have. Any help would be great. By the way I have the Genus Mattebox that I was basically given by a friend of mine who is getting out of the game. He only had one 4 x 4 warming filter in his arsenal. Let me know what you all think.

Thanks,

VC
 
all i use is a variety of soft ND grads and a polarizer. i find most of the effect/color stuff is often wiser handled in post in many cases...
 
I agree with wqzn, most color/effect stuff is better done in post.
However, I bring along a 1/4 and a 1/2 black pro-mist for certain shots, since these filters function in an optical manner that doesn't seem readily reproducible in post.

A polarizer is, of course, indispensible. I like the Schneider Tru-Pol.
