I want to buy some decent (Cokin P, Z-Pro or Lee) ND grads with holder etc and a decent 77mm polariser. These are to go on a Sigma 10-20 on a Canon 350D.

Any recommendations for the above and a reason why you went for Cokin or Lee or anyone else would be helpful

And recommendations for well priced efficient delivery service online (or via phone) retailers. I live in Mid-Wales and camera shops are a little thin on the ground here.

I don't mind spending the money if the product is well worth it.

I bought all my Lee stuff from Robert White - good stock and good prices, and they're very helpful. You may find the Lee system unnecessarily large for 35mm, but then again you'll never need anything else.

Thanks for the help, from all I've read I'll think I'll go with the Lee system, although more expensive, if its not what I really want Lee stuff fetches good money on eBay so I can move it on for very little loss.

Speed Graphic is another reliable mail order business - telephone or on line.

I had a P164 cokin circ. poloriser turn up this morning.


Got it from www.crookedimaging.co.uk/shop and the service was great. They also sell on ebay (where I saw it) so you can even use paypal to pay.


I have a voucher code for 5% off if you e-mail me.

If at all possible I buy from Robert White on principle (I bought a new camera from them two days ago incidentally!). They really know their stuff, the service is second to none, and buying from the same dealer as Cornish, Prior, Frost et al. clearly improves your photography. Lee filters are the way forward, no doubt. Shell out on a high quality British product while you still can (honorable mention to B&W filters too. I have their polariser and it's very very good.)
