GH2 Video with Panasonic 100-300mm & ND Filter, any issues?

So I'm creating videos with lots of sunlight and I would like to get the shutter speed down to 1/50, 1/100 or 1/160 something in that range, currently have to film at about 1/640 shutter and f/8 aperature.  It seems like I could use an ND filter to block 2 or 3 f-stops of light so I can bring the shutter speed down.

Are there any issues I should be aware of when using it on a telephoto 100mm-300mm lens?

Anyone think there will be any noticeable difference to sharpness?

Any brands of ND filter that are better or worth avoiding?  Looking at something like Hoya NDX8 right now.
