In addition to the just announced Luzid 100 mm ND Filter Set, Desmond Photographic Distribution have also announced the expansion to their ICE range of Optical Glass Neutral Density filters.
Those nonetheless have a larger square frame of 150 mm, therefore compatible with Lee SW150, Haida 150 Series as well as Hitech and Nisi 150 mm filter holders

New Luzid 100 mm ND Filter Set from Desmond


The brand of "Art of Sharp" aka LUZID filters was recently enriched with a Set of Neutral Density filters.
However, these are not circular like the high end brass framed LUŽID Circular Polarizer and ND1000 Brass Filters introduced last year, but square glass with a 100 mm side, fitting all 100 mm filter holders from Cokin Z, Haida 100 and others.

Yet another new brand name of high end, premium quality filters, has been announced by Desmond Photographic Distribution, U.S.A.
The LUŽID brand owes its name, most probably, after Lucid or Translucent in German, which in turn denotes the extra fine quality of these filters with the least possible interference in the light passing through them.

A Useful Aluminium Filter Wrench from Desmond

Stuck filters are a cause of frustration especially when you are in the middle of a photo session.
There are various rubber disks, plastic loops and even jar openers that can help you unscrew a stuck filter.
For the record, I have used even mouse pads in the past.
