My Canon 300 2.8ll uses the rear drop in filter. I just purchased the filter holder but it has a clear filter in it. Can I remove the clear filter and install an ND filter in its place?

The clear one is there only because Canon designed the optics with a filter as part of the light path. Jon

Surely that depends on the strength of the ND that's installed! 1Dx2 (2), 5DSR, 1Ds3, 1D4, 5D2(590nm), 5D2(720nm) EF600 EF400 EF300-II EF300 EF200 EF200-II EF180L EF135L EF100 EF85-II EF50L TS-E17/4 TS-E24L-II TS-E45 TS-E90 MP-E65 EF70-200-II EF24-70/2.8-II EF16-35/4 EF8-15/4 EF11-24/4 Zeiss 15/2.8 21/2.8 25/2 28/2 35/1.4 35/2 50/2 85/1.4 100/2 135/2 T/C's L-SC & a WIFE!
