Can't you adjust your studio flashes? I can dial mine down to 1/16th
power if need be. And if that's not enough to get the aperture I want,
I add the ND filter. It's certainly not an inconvenience in the studio.

@ ISO 200, and for portraits, that is unacceptable.

50 ISO setting - even 100 would be an improvement. As I've said about
film,
lower speeds means wider apertures and more creative opportunities.

As William said, why put a filter on a lens if you don't have to?

Why would you want ISO 50 sensitivity? At 200, noise is virtually
unnoticable, and ND filters can be used when slower shutter speeds
are
required.
I can understand it. I like limited DOF, but tossing an ND filter on
can
really bugger up AF, and these things don't have the best
viewfinders for manual focus.
It's not high on my list of wants, but it would be nice to have.
