Need GL2 accessories help... Can't Post

Ok, it's great the GL2 has a ND filter, but I'd like to get an optical ND filter for the camera instead (actually, several, with varying degrees of filtration). The GL2 accepts 58mm lens filters, which is good. I'm not sure if they use a proprietary thread or not, I'm fairly certain it's an industry standard 58mm thread type.

So anyway, based on the article on VideoUniversity's Free Library, I'd also like to know if anyone has seen a hood accessory that will allow me to use a hood with optical diffusers and such that basically drop into the hood and it's ready to roll.

All help is greatly appreciated.

I guess I'll ask my other question while I'm at it. Does anyone know where I can buy Storyboard Quick for a good price?

Thanks!

Can't respond to the storyboard app, but the front end of the GL2 is the same as the GL1, which I own. I regularly use 58mm filters from my 35mm camera equipment, Thread size is standard. Though I have yet to make a purchase, I have seen several different types of lens hoods offered at www.evsonline.com, I I believe the matte box variety would serve our needs well.
