Stacking ND filters on Phase One S/K 35mm BR lens

Anyone with experience using circular ND filters of this lens. I would typically carry 3, 6 and 10 stop ND's, but unlikely to stack more than 2 at a time. Are any brands free of vignetting when stacking 2 filters? Formatt Hitech, Heliopan, Haida and Singh-Ray all seem to make 105mm circular ND's.

Thanks,

John

I regularly stack two Haida filters on it, no problems at all, and I’m usually stacking a polarizer and an ND, with the polarizer being quite thick.

Thanks for the input. What type of Breakthrough ND were you using. I didn't think Breakthrough made 105mm circular filters.

John
You are correct, I wrote that from memory as all my other ND filters are Breakthrough including the 95mm. But my 105mm is a Singh-Ray, although Breakthrough has said that they would one day make 105 ND filters.

Thanks for your response, E.J. I think I will contact Breakthrough to inquire about 105mm circular filters, as I would prefer them to Formatt-Hitech or Lee. Thanks, again.

They do have 105 polarizers, I have one (for sure :) ) but not the ND - the more of us that ask for them, the more likely that they will offer them :)

I sent a chat message to Breakthrough customer service, and they responded they did not know of any plans for 105mm ND filters. I am thinking of trying the Breakthrough 105mm X4 6-stop Dark CPL, since this is probably my most used ND strength. I could add another brand of 10 stop and 3 stop, if necessary... unless Breakthrough gets the message to make 105mm ND's :thumbs:.

My conversation was with the founder of the company but nothing has happened and that was maybe 6 months ago.
