If cost is a factor have you considered a welding glass? Couple of quid and slides in the cokin filter holder perfectly. Check out the Welding Glass Shots thread to get an idea of the results you can achieve: http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=152480

I did a load of scanning and restoration, a few years back, on a load of old family photos. Bought a book... 'Digital restoration from start to finish'. Extremely happy with the results. And in the process it taught me a lot about photoshop.

Great stuff. Loads of fantastic images. Congrats all round. :)

Down at Winchelsea late Friday afternoon. Here's my attempt... not totally happy with it, though will certainly try again... oh, and a freak wave soaked my foot! :) Winchelsea Mist01-Sm by Marc , on Flickr

Got up for sunrise but as I was sitting in my car contemplating my navel, this little fella came along. Seagull 01-Sm by Marc, on Flickr Exif says 5:13, but was actually 7:13... double summer time??? ;)
