Thanks Jules, Perfect summing up. Though I previously hadn't considered round ones... So that's more food for thought..

Helpful answer David... Your doing house renovations in this weather ? I hope they are internal....

Yes that seems to be the way for most of the landscape specialists. I wonder if its because constantly removing the cast, though not impossible, is a pain. Wether it be magenta or blue. Or as you would expect for the price the image quality is superior. I guess if you pay for decent lenses you don't want to slap a bit of cheap plastic in front of them. But as I said previously the Lee system is way beyond my price range.

Thanks for all the great advice.. Stuey the trip is over into the Lake district. Easily accessible from Manchester. I will be taking a 28mm Lens as like has been stated the 10-20 can seem a bit too wide at times Also 16-45 and 24-75 and possibly 70-200.. Usually I photograph in near darkness with my gig photography or the bright lights of a studio. But I would like to try a few landscapes this year. So I thought camera's OK Lenses are ok ish... So to make the job complete Il get some ND filters. Now Im a bit confused as to the market here. In all honesty, I only really considered graduated filters )not sure if I should go hard or soft.) as I imagined toning skies above hills. I believe the Lee system to be glass and top of the pile but this system is too expensive for me. As a weekend tog. Which leaves Cokin Hitec or Kood that I have become aware of. My dilemma is that I have read that all these systems leave a colour cast of some description on the final image. This being the case should I just purchase the cheapest ? I was looking for some feedback from landscapers who had experience of any of these systems.

Thanks John, Yes I have other lenses and a tripod. Perhaps I didn't explain myself very well. Im looking to get some Nd filters Probably graduated possibly hard grad. Along with Full ND (Fluffy water waterfalls) But there are so many brands around. Some of my colleagues at the club have the cheaper imported ones. But these seem to leave a cast on the image which later has to be removed in processing. So I was hopefully looking to purchase something slightly better. But I want to get the right ones So Im I wanted the views of the more experienced landscapers as to what they were using an how they found them. Before I take the plunge. At present probably edging towards a Cokin P type sysem/

Hi All, I have been invited on a Landscape photography weekend, with some camera club friends. Now landscapes are not my bag really. I am deciding what I need to take along on the trip. Alongside my trusty Sigma 10-20. I came to the conclusion that a set of filters would be a good idea. But I have no idea which ones to purchase. The Lee system I know is top of the tree. But frankly they are out of my price range as an infrequent landscaper. So that leaves the other brands for me to choose from. Can anyone offer me advice.recommendations on what they are using ? The plus points and the drawbacks so to speak from users who have actually used them....

Really like the first one..

Sorry guys I hadn't realised it was FF Doh... Il delete this posting..

I was just looking at the newly announced Tamron 16-30 2.8 lens. Thinking it would be a nice purchase. Until I was stopped in my tracks. Only to find its not made in Pentax mount. This is increasingly becoming the norm. Why do people think this is ? Would Pentax owners be happy to use just Pentax branded lenses ? Let's discuss.....

I like the final result. If for me a little on the dark side, (Gone all Star Wars again...) and missing lots of detail in the car. Better in my opinion to take several shots at a faster shutter speed. using an off camera flashgun to light the subject . Then blend together the various images with layers and masks in photoshop.
