That's nice as I've not invested in any filters yet for many of my new lenses over the past year or so having gotten very much into digital. My 40 Summicron C lens (for M) in which I have to take the 39mm filter apart and just use the glass I think is the solution. And my Nikon digital lenses for my DSLR which take 77, 72, 67mm sizes. Wow! I'm used to 39! I suppose a polarizer of each size would be good. Except for the 40 again. How you'd do that I don't know. Just stick one in at a nice angle and not worry about turning it. >From what I can make out about the only usable filter for digital photography is a neutral gray. Not sure why. Heck I'd use a polarizer instead might do something nice. I find that when I use the C41 monochrome films I'm not needed to use my tried and true yellow green filter. The sky comes in nicely with no burn out and everything else looks nicely panchromatic Thank you. And gives Xtol a run for it's money I'm embarrassed to say.
