Which grad filter?

[posiview]

I'm off to Iceland in June with a few TP buddies and I'm looking to replace my Hitech grads. I want to invest in Lee but can't afford a full set. If you had to buy 1 hard and 1 soft which would you buy? I'm tempted to buy a 0.6 hard and soft but would welcome any advice,

Thanks.

Stick with the hi techs and get a sharper lens

Already have a Nikon 24-70 which is a great lens.

Cheers.

Two stop soft and hard grad then! Although I don't hardly use hard grads! I'd get 1 and 2 stop soft grads! Cos if you use both you've got 3 stops

0.6 hard and soft lee's should do the job if starting out, but maybe consider a 0.9 soft grad along side a 0.6 hard grad. These are my most used filters.

I agree with the 0.6 hard and 0.9 soft. What camera have you got? Since I've been using the D750 (and 610 before) I haven't used my 0.9 hard much as the dynamic range is so good.

Hi, D750. I sometimes feel the need hold back the sky a bit.

Cheers.

Ah cool, I only ask in case it was something older - I find I use the 0.6 hard 85-90% of the time, if that helps make your mind up.
