Budget ND grad filters, recommendations

[DizMatt]

hi.
something I'm not really versed in but would like to have a go at is landscapes.
ND grad seem the best way to go and next month there's a group trip to Whitby I'm attending. Much beer and snapping...
so I thought i'd try to get some grads and adaptors in before this.

any recommendations for someone starting out?? budget is low, probs around £30 ish depending on what's required and recommended. I don't mind e-baying it.
will be shooting with a 17-50 tamron on a 40D.
thanks for any help.

thanks everyone

prob going for these as a starter kit with a holder, £30ex seems reasonable

Depends on the shots you take, Hard edge recommended for scenes with a defined horizon like seascapes, soft where the border between sky and ground is not so linear.

Don't forget you'll need a Cokin P series holder and a mounting ring too. Well worth checking out ebay for these!

The filters are good value and the guys at Teamwork helpful too!

Good luck.
