Preference with ND filters circular or square?

Speaking of filters, is there a difference between a circular and square ND filter?   Other than shape and how it's attached to the camera?

Nope, and I prefer the square ones. I've gotten fumbly in my old age and and don't like screwing the rounds ones on....The Lee system is in my pack.

Why so serious?

What are you doing about your polarized filter needs?

I have a couple screw in circular "polarizers", but usually put them on and leave them. They don't block enough light to make metering and focusing difficult like a ten or fifteen stop ND....

All my filters are circular with the exception of my reverse grad, and soft edge ND grad.

I've got both.  To be honest, I kind of go back and forth between them.

Square/rectangle filters for me.  However still need to have a typical screw on polarizer.  Many of the square/rectangle filters have these polarized filters that you can pop into their brackets and spin around.  However I have yet to find one that works good.
