Let us know what you end up with (I'l assume whatever you go for will be compatible with the 11-22mm). I've just ordered an old 400mm prime from the Film Days and an FD to EF-M adapter to go with it. Thinking of getting some solar filtering paper to make my own filter for the upcoming eclipse (hopefully the clouds will stay away). I'd be interested in some more general purpose filters for landscapes though... LOve the ones you've posted above, and the cloud looks ace @michael23I was using a SRB 10 stop which is pretty good for the price but does make pictures a little red. It's not much of an issue though as it's a 2 second fix adjusting the white balance in Lightroom and it's then fine.
I'm seriously considering getting a good filters kit for use with my M system and I've been doing some searching this morning. At first I looked at the Lee Seven5 system. I mistakenly assumed that as the filters were much smaller then the prices would be as well. No, still need to sell a kidney to buy the kit
So I've been looking at the Hitech Firecrest filters which are glass and reasonably priced. I also like that they sell a 13 and 16 stop filter.
Does anyone have the Hitech filters? Are they a good choice?
I have a Birthday at the end of the month and the Missus keeps asking what I'd like. If these are good then I think this will be it.
Thought it was about time I posted more macro shots as I've been continually reducing my setup in line with the M philosophy. Constructed a new flash bracket and now use a cheap softbox diffuser that folds away, reducing my baggage further I now prefer the results I was getting with my 550D and it's much easier to use:

The original M still has it's compromises (mainly around recycle times) which I'm hoping the M3 will address. Also hoping the increase in Megapixels will allow me to get better resolution and provide more cropping options than the current sensor
