Grad filters & holders

[PaulP01]

Where is the best place to buy these online?
Also, what will I need? Is it: Adaptor ring, filter holder and a grad filter?
TIA

I bought my ND filters from warehouse express.

Personally I find Graduated too much trouble for my level of hobby photography and just do what I can in Photoshop by merging RAW files...

But yes, you will need an adapter, holder and filter.
LEE apparently are very good.
COKIN - can leave a colour cast on your photos which can be removed in PP.

If putting on a WA lens you may also need a special adapter/holder to avoid vignetting...

hope that helps

Photography shops on ebay are good for these

And the Hitech filters are a good alternative to Cokin

1 x Cokin P452 52mm TH0.75 Adaptor |
1 x Cokin P400 P Holder and Cokin
1 x Cokin P152 Grey ND2X Filter


Would these be a decent starter kit?

i use a high street store - havent found a colour cast on my cokins. If i did they would repalce or refund with no problem.

www.7dayshop.com always have good prices on Cokin Filters IIRC

i use filter depot usually, their prices for Cokin are usually pretty good but their service is exceptional, about 5 or 6 transactions and no issues

I'm thinking of the Lee filter holder (strudier than the Cokin equivalent) and Hitech filters. Anyone else use this combo?

Anyone else use this combo?

Yep, Me!

 

[Uneducated_Rick]

How's it working for you? Recommend it?

Well, I have nothing to compare to... but have no complaints.

The Lee holder is a fine piece of engineering in black anodized metal with nice brass details. I'm sure someone will tell me that I could have held the filter in place with my fingers and saved the money, but it works well for me, and should last a lifetime.
