I need to purchase some new ND filters for my RF 14-35 and 24-70/2.8 lenses. There's many options. I'd appreciate very much your recommendations! Thanks!

I have switched to Marumi pro grade filters available at B&H and other places. I have been very pleased with them. They are moderately priced.

I liked the Breakthrough Photography ND filter I bought, real easy to grip the outer edge when you need to remove it.
I always used to buy only B + W before for any filter I needed but I see no problems with The Breakthrough Photography filter.

Back when lens barrels were aluminum, it made a lot of sense to buy filters with brass rings...much less self'binding' of similar metals. Now that so many lens barrels are composite, the issue of self-binding is lessened, and one can more readily get by with filters with aluminum rings.

I stand by what I said, the filter is designed to be real easy to remove, I use it for Air Shows and switch back and forth between on and off depending on whether I am shooting jets or prop engine planes. It is a great filter and it doesn’t seem to have any adverse effect on the picture quality. https://breakthrough.p​hotography …nsity?variant=3​0850759185 (external link)
