Well, I have spent a little money today.;) I brought myself a foundation kit with a set of soft nd graduated filters and after a chat with the gent who served me I added a b&w 105mm circular polarizing filter and adaptor ring. The main reason for the post is just to say what great customer service I had and would recomend them to anyone with no hesitation. The reason for getting them is the Dorset meet in a couple of weeks.:D

I bought a tripod off them last year - absolutely spot on!

Hope you get some good use out of your filters....

Can I ask which circular polarizer you got?

I'm considering the Lee system and will need a new CP if I want to use it with ND grads. There seem to be lots of B+W polarizers and I'm unsure which would be best.

Just wondered what they recommended at Robert White.

I have used Robert White as well and they have always been spot in with advice (even to the extent of pointing me to better cheaper options), great bunch of guys there. I think they only list one B+W polariser as suitable for the Lee Filters, I have it and it works a treat :)

I bought my filters etc from them, and they were spot on with their knowledge and advice.

I have had a look and it doesn't say slim so I presume it is a standard. I have also looked on the web and could not see if they do a thin version. The one thing I have found is at 10mm on my 10-20 sigma I am getting some vinergretting (sp) this does disappear at 12mm, must say that I am not surprised

I will post some up as soon as I get a chance to get out and try them. It will probably be on the 18th at the Dorset meet
