Well I tried a 46mm ND and it fit just fine in the 800mm drop in holder. The problem came trying an inexpensive Kenko polarizing filter (lower quality then I would consider). It was very slightly too thick and the latch on the filter holder would barely close. It was a snug fit going into the lens.
My search continues for a 6.5mm or less high end CPL like a B+W or Heliopan. I've messaged both last week for thickness measurements and have heard nothing. BTW, the NiSi and Breakthrough Photography ones are too thick, i.e. over 6.5mm including the threads.
