Which type of ND filter??

[spencer]

Can anyone offer advice on which ND filter to buy?
I would like to use them for taking pictures of waterfalls ect, to give that velvety look. (hopefully at the breacons meet.)

Now the three lenses I have at the moment are:

1. a Canon 18-55 kit lens
2. a Canon 70-200 kit len
3. a Sigma 24-70 2.8

Ideally I would like to use it on the Sigma, but it has a filter size of 82mm!

I don't really have the funds to splash out on a whole filter set up at the moment.



Any suggestions please?

Why dont you get a Cokin P kit and slide in a ND filter.. the you only need adapter rings for each size of lens.

Good advice from Janice. You may even want to go to Z series (100mm) for the wider lenses with larger dia filter threads. When you choose, PM me regarding the filters.

Spencer. I agree with what Janice said. I went for a Cokin P ND8 & ND4 Grad.

Spence - Try a cheap COKIN P filter holder on ebay and Hi-Tec grads from teamwork...

It comprises of 3 quality grad filters (0.3, 0.6, 0.9) all for £30+VAT.
I've used these for over a year now, great price !

Thanks everyone for the input.

I shall try the Cokin P type & a Hi-tec grad from teamwork, and see how I get on!
