Note that both foil qualities require a 'gelatine' filter holder, 
especially the 0.1mm type (real gelatine is also 0.1mm thick).
The more conventional type of filter is a 2mm thick hard resin type, 
which can be used with the Cokin-P system (83x83mm, other sizes 
possible on request).
The foil qualities only makes sense if you are willing & able to 
mount it inside the camera, most likely between the film rails.
The 0.4mm type is happily sitting in my EOS-1 for several months 
now....would have missed many shots without it!....:-))
(all recently added pictures on my homepage are taken with this 
filter (URL below)).
