No. GOOD Mark!! :-) For every other filter except NDs and polarizer, you are 
dead to rights.
I'm shedding film. Going fully digital. Started with the M8. Now a new Canon 
outfit: 1Ds MKIII, 24/45/90 Tilt Shift lenses (to replace my Flexbody), 100 
- 400 to replace my H 120, 180 and 350 and a 16-34 for the really wide at 
heart (so long to my H 40 and 50).
But I still want a polarizer and the ability to us ND filters...
All my new lenses can do this. Very important for me.

Shedding Hasselblad and Nikon systems.... very difficult.
