No
New or Used.

After something to fit 67mm, preferably slimline, though its going on a 17mm lens, so not *that* wide.

Previously had Hoya basic CP's, around the £10-12 mark from amazon and they've been alright, but I am aware there is MUCH better ones around.

Looking to spend maybe £20-30. Doubt I can get a B+W for that, but anything else worth a look thats considerably better than the cheaper range of Hoyas?

Also after a grad filter, have a cokin P (? the smaller one, for 55 & 62mm), am I going to need a cokin A (the big one?).
Or should I look away from the obvious? Next lens I want to get will have a 77mm thread, so should really buy the bigger holder anyway.
Does anybody make a METAL filter mounting? I've broken quite a few of the plastic Cokin A/P ones in my bag as I tend to go places where kit takes a hammering :)

There is actually NO cam shops within er, 90miles of me, so its not really practical to drive there to look at them :p

Cheers :thumbs:
 
Pete C just posted one in the forsale section a bit more than your limit.
 
I've used Marumi CP before, they're not as good as Heliopan or B+W, but they're up there with some of the best.

The one I've linked to, from Microglobe, is just about within your price range. The ones I bought were from Microglobe.
 
I'm using a Hoya Pro 1 circular polariser on a Tamron 17-50, very good imo, can make a big difference to pictures. Just dont forget to take it off when in low light :lol:
 
Nobody know of a better made filter holder than the KOOD Cokin series? I've broken plenty of the smaller ones, now in need of the larger size. Does a metal one exist?

Are LEE filters worth a look? can't find anywhere that sells them.

Needs to work currently on a 17mm/ 78degree lens and not vig with a 67mm thread, and in a month will need to sit on a 10mm 102degree lens with a 77mm lens, so I'm thinking even the COkin wide kit will still get in the way.
The LEE kit seems to be massive, 100mmx100mm filters? That sounds big enough ;)
