when there is overcast it gets very difficult if not impossible without a ND grad filter.
Agree - I have just been away (Yorkshire Dales & Lake District) and the ND grads I have just got hold of were very useful as the sky was often overcast. Took quite a few shots of each view all th same trying to get a good histogram!

My past experience using a 2stop Cokin grey-grad with film, made the 'grey' sky look slightly pink!

Hi Lilly
The following may be useful in helping make a decision as to which sort you need from FORMATT web-site (Hitech filters):
http://www.formatt.co.uk/stills-filters/filter-kits/graduated/grad-kit-4-nd0-3-n...

"Graduated NDs are available in Soft Edge or Hard Edge varieties. Soft edge grads have a smooth transition from clear to ND. Hard edge grads have a more defined hard lined transition and should be used for longer lenses. For extremely long focal lengths a razor edge grad providing a very highly defined transition, may be ordered."

The 85mm size fit in the COKIN 'P' holder
Hope this helps

Thanks Mannesty.

I only asked, 'cos a PSP link I followed showed me the price in US dollars, and when I followed through the ordering process, and it discovered I am in the UK, the web-site changed the price to GBP - at the same figure - ie $59 =£59!!

the options you have in Artizen for tone mapping are really great. And this piece of software isn't that expensive either.
A bit OT - but on Artizen web-site, one can buy it for 59 CAD. Does anyone know how they translate that into GBP - ie via the normal exchange rate, or like the common '1 to 1' we seem to see making it more like £59?

Sorry to burst the bubble...
Fortunately, I haven't noticed the pink tinge yet with the K10D - might that be 'cos the AWB takes it out?
And as you say, can easily be tweaked out amyway if necessary
