It sounds an interesting deal. I would like to go with quality optics so a bit cautious about the CaVision filters.

My question though, is these only come as 4X4... For widescreen, shouldn't I be needing the 4X5.65 (or panavision size) filters?

Anyone know the real difference here with the extra 1.65" ?

You don't need the 4x5.56 filters for widescreen but it all depends on how wide your widest lens is or the diameter of the lens.

A note to all about Cavision filters: I rolled the dice last year on their new lineup of 4x5.56's (an ND1.2 and a Grad .9). The quality was HORRIBLE. The ND grad looked more like a purple party color than ND. It literally was that off-color. It could have been a cool color effect but it was anything but neutral.

The straight ND was significantly better but still had a VERY strong purple cast to it. It would be something that'd be very hard to time out in post and was thus completely unacceptable. I sent them both back immediately for a full refund from Adorama.com. Go with Schneider and you won't regret it. Buying quality gear only hurts once. The other stuff keeps hurting.

Well said.

circular or linear polarizer with mini35 / JVC adapter ?
 

Tim, have you any info on this specific camera set-up and pola filters ?

Thanks Chad
