I am thinking of getting a big stopper or something similar but having read all I can there isn't any one make that seems to get nothing but praise.
The Lee seems to be the best but is very fragile and so expensive and elusive. Others like the Hi Tech seem to have colour cast issues though their new one may be ok.
However, both are filter systems that require a major investment even before you get a filter.
I do have an old Hi Tech filter holder (but no adaptor) that may be just the same as the current ones (have they been updated over the last 10 years ?) and am wondering if that would do just fine to hold a grad filter with a screw in 8-9-10 stopper, given that all my lenses are 77mm.
If so, then does anyone know which screw in makes are worth the money - I hear about Light Craft, Haida, B+W and Hi Tech to name but a few but are there any of you who have experiences that you can share to help me work out which to buy ?
I doubt I would use a system enough to justify a whole new set up, nor can I afford a Lee one but any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks !
