A very good point and worth checking out.Not sure about weather sealing with this system. If you have a water splash on the filters on the front of the lens, it's ok. But if the water gets in between the lens and the sensor...

i bought the canon cpl adapter with my r5 (only adapter i could find). I am interested in other filters for the adapter, so i called in october and they said they would get the dark cpl's in november... i check their website every couple of months to see if anything is in stock.I hope you are really good at holding your breath as they are now more than six months late on my order.
Major sighs....
So their fitlers 100% fit the Canon filter adapter? That wasn't entirely obvious from the site that I could see. Not that I am thinking of lending them money soon, just interesting to know.i bought the canon cpl adapter with my r5 (only adapter i could find).

FWIW, I received an email from them today offering to upgrade my X2 VND for an additional $90 or $99 depending on which part of their email you want to believe:I had the same question before trying to purchase last fall. They confirmed, their filters would 100% fit Canon EF/RF adapters and would be weather sealed.
I have several Breakthrough filters, they are very well made and have good optics (little color caste, etc), but they held my money for 4-5 months without delivering a product. That was long enough. Unfortunate to see it is still going on. I am not sure what the issue is, but...something ain't right.
And neither wIill I on either version.hopefully that is an indication the X4 is in production. I won’t be holding my breath
It has now been a full twelve months since I order and PAID for the drop-in filter but nothing. I called to talk to them and got an email back several days later that they had been trying to reach me and my email is full, total bullshit! My phone has no record of them calling and my voicemail is not full. Very poor business practice.hopefully that is an indication the X4 is in production. I won’t be holding my breath
Also these filter are warranted by for 25 years I registered mine and received confirmation on them.I was one of the very first to place an order so far I received two filters a Polarizer and a few days ago I received a 10 stop ND filter I have 6 more to go. I must say these filter are well made. I know it has been a long time I am glad I waited. I would recommend these in a heartbeat.These are the filters.
Twiggy,We got in a couple Breakthrough drop-in filters - one of the VNDs and a CPL. We included the results for those in a quick review of the drop-in filter adapters this morning...

Best Drop-In Filter Adapter for Canon RF Mount - Camnostic
In the beginning, there was just one. Actually, there was the announcement of just one. The one – from Canon – took a very, very long time to actually get shipped. But then there was a Canon EF to RF drop-in filter adapter (above), allowing for previously-unfilterable lenses to be, well...camnostic.com
The upshot: liked better than the Canon OEM ones.
