Both a CPL and a UV for both my filter sizes. The UVs are just for protection during adverse conditions - otherwise the lens is naked most of the time (not counting the lens shade).

I am scaling back to just polarizing and full neutral density. Any other thoughts?

I have a polarizer, a set of NDs, a set of close-up "filters," and a skylight which I never use.

Same here

I carry 3- 1A for protection in windy (beach) situations. CPL and a filter for my wife's complaints about buying that lens.

I usually keep a UV on the lens for protection. The theory is that it degrades the image. But, I rather have something on the front I can clean with any rag handy.

Similar to BSprague I have a 10 stop ND, a CP and a 3 stop hard graduated ND

Excellent! Reminds me of a sign I saw in Google Images: "I like my country music at a loud enough volume, so I can't hear you complaining about it." >Alan

Circular Polarizer
Neutral Density 3, 5, and 7 f/stops (8X, 32X, 128X) (for outdoor videography, primarily)
UV (for high altitude work > 5000 feet)
Clear Glass (lens protection in harsh environments such as beach, welding, cooking, industrial processes)

I also have adapter rings to mount my 58mm filters on the 46mm filter ring of my macro lens. No point in owning two sets of filters.

ELNikkor

CP & half neutral gradient

Well, I have two CPF filters, one is adjustible one is fixed, a florescent, a sky, and and another one I have no idea of what it does! They all came in a kit, I do use the CPF filters, but the none of the rest!

speters Loc: Grangeville/Idaho

CPO, ND and grad ND/s, filters for B&W, close-up filter and then some! Also a bunch of gels for flash! And all my lenses have UV protection filters on them!

Carry CPL and GND.

Have stopped using UV.

Nature shooter, I have uv filters on all of my lenses. I use a CP filter on most of my lenses. I also keep a graduated split neutral demisty filter, a 3 and 6 stop neutral density handing to obtain slower shutter speeds.

I am still carrying a CIR-PL filter and a ND 2 stop filter. But neither one gets much use now-a-days. Depends on how lazy I am at the moment.

CPL, UVs, 10 stop ND, 10 stop graduated ND are all I have in my bag. I still have a full set of Cokins; all colors, intensities, and gradients; accessories of yesteryear.

cambriaman Loc: Central CA Coast

Singh-Ray Vario-Duo 10 stop variable CPL, 3 stop graduated ND, Moose's Warm CPL, 3 stop ND. The Cokin set of similar filters got stored when I moved up to lenses with a 77mm filter ring.
