Hi,

I am asking for any recommendations for ND filters and other accessories for the RF Zoom set (15-35mm,24-70mm,80-200).

I have been using them with a C70 with built in ND's. I picked up an R5 and now need some filters so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

You might get some better advice if you give some more information about your price range and use case.

One thing to note is that the RF15-35 and RF24-70 both have 82mm filter threads but the RF70-200 has only 77mm filter threads (it seems "unhelpful" as they could have easily made it also be 82mm). The 70-200mm hood has a door for controlling a polarizing filter (circular or adjustable neutral density). You can fit a 77 to 82 mm filter adapter onto the RF70-200 with the lens hood in place, but you will not be able to remove the hood without first removing the filter adapter and filter. Probably OK for occasional use, but would be a pain for regular use.
