Filters for M11P

No, I don’t mean protective UV or clear glass. I’m used to carrying a LEE filters set including ND, ND grad and a polariser for an Oly kit. Having switched to the M system, I don’t want to duplicate everything, and anyway a slot filter system is unwieldy on the small sizes of M lenses. With the improved dynamic range of a sensor such as a M11P, I can probably skip ND grads - but I would like to find a big stopper equivalent and a polariser. Current lenses are 35mm Leica, and Voigtlander 21 and 75mm. Advice gratefully received.

Breakthrough Photography for any ND filter, 3 stop, 6 stop, 10 stop or 15 stop.  These are the most neutral of neutral density filters.  Polarisers are pretty good too.

I use them on my S3, and the ND's give indeed a very good, neutral color. They recently introduced a magnetic clip-on feature, but I haven’t tried it yet.

I had the previous generation of magnetic filters and they worked well.  The updated version has been mentioned for quite a long time - not sure what the improvements are.
