ND Filters between taking lens and anamorphic

[kado]

I know the usual step to cut down light is to add ND filters inside a mattebox.

but would adding an ND filter between the taking lens and and anamorphic lens, (mine is an iscorama 54) be a big no no?

im looking a the Hoya ProND filters but the biggest size available is 82mm.

 

thanks,

I've been doing it behind an LA7200 no problem, only that I start vin getting a few millimetres sooner on the wide end.

You generally want to mount the two optics as close together as possible. Small nd's are cheap, I'd buy one used and do a quality test

side by side.

ah yes, i forgot about keeping them as close as possible.

i'll definitely have to do some testing.

thank you
