Lee Filters - ProGlass 0.6ND

[CAB]

Just ordered the Lee DSLR starter kit - got a little confused thinking that i would get the Coral and the 0.6 ND Hard Grad. However this is for Standard starter kit not the DSLR kit which instead of the coral filter comes with a ProGlass 0.6ND (ref link below). Can iassume that this is to be used in exactly the same way as the graduated filter??

BTW the chaps at RW were extremely helpful

I'm 99.9% that the ND will work exactly the same (but better if they are not making it up).

Good choice.

I'd be quite keen to hear what you think of the Lee DSLR filter kit. I've been so close to buying one several times and still really want one...

Well it won't work *exactly* the same (unless you want a very sharp edge ), as its a 100x100 square rather than a grad, but I've used mine quite a lot on both digital and film. Excellent for those waterfall pictures!

The DSLR starter kit is good, but you need to factor in the cost of lens adapter rings and one of the filter wraps with the 3 pockets - a lot quicker access. You'll find the 2 stop grad the most useful, although having switched to film I find I really need the 1 stop as well.

Without wishing to be too critical, I have found that the ancillary bits don't seem to be made to the same standards - I've had a Hassy lens adaptor that did not fit (bad molding), and my polariser adapter ring is going a bit rough at the edges. The filters themselves are good though - I couldn't take landscape photos on film without them.
