ND front or between?

[enny]

Hi guys where do you place your ND filter in front or the between anamorphic and taking lens. Andis there rely a difference where it goes? is there sharpness loose? or image distortion. I am thinking of getting 1 tiffen 50mm or Cokin for taking lens or for front  Z-PRO ND GRAD 95mm.
 

Which filters are better when it comes to image quality nd grad or variable nd filter
 

Thanks

When this question came up before, my advice was the same as Andys.

 

Since then I have found a Scope which doesn't like this and produces mad inverted reflections/ghosts.

 

For example someone in a white shirt walks across left to right produces an upside down ghost going right to left.

 

So basically use what works best and watch out for ghosts.  :ph34r:

some of my scope lenses work with my Arri matte box so I can use the 4x4 nds at the front - so you can try different ways , if it looks good - do it!
