Filter - Polariser & ND

[mattsbmw]

Looking for some advice guys, currently shooting with 400d with the kit 18-55, a tamron 70-300 and a canon 50 1.8.

Looking to get some filters for it as i feel this will help to improve the pictures.

I would be looking at a circular polariser and some ND grad filters for landscapes.

Looking for recommendations nothing too expensive but will need them to do the job.

Thanks
Matt

Cokin P will do, they don't break the bank and work well.

There is hitech as well for the ND grads. They sit between cokin and lee filters for quality.
There not too expensive and don't have the same magenta colour cast issues that cokins can produce

As for polarized have a look at hoya ones, again good value for money.

Thanks, i already have a filter holder and i think it is "P" sized.

Wheres the best place to buy from?

If your cokin system is 85mm then hitech have a range of filters that fit cokin holders.
Try www.formatt.co.uk or teamworkphoto. Both sell ND and ND grads soft or hard as individuals or sets or 3 and 4 filters.

Cheers for that.
Had the website correct in my mind but HTC predictive put in something different.
