I use 0.6 & 0.9 soft grad ND 4x6" Lee filter system.

However, I stopped recommending this system during the past 18 months due to an apparent worldwide shortage of the product. What would happen is people would be impatient about the long backorder or out-of-stock message and go ahead and order inferior alternatives. (The right stuff is very expensive due to high demand outstripping scant supply.) Then, when not happy with the results, they'd blame me for recommending the entire soft grad ND concept. So, no more recommendations from me on this.

I've discovered Formatt / Hitech in the UK. Will be trying their product soonish. I have Hoya, Tiffen, Keno, Cokin, amongst others. The oldest Hoya's are 30 years old and still going strong. Cokin went belly up last year and were bought out by Kenko/Hoya/Slik group.

Nope, you get a Set of 4 Graduated HD Neutral Density Filters: 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 densities for that price...

Awesome info guys,

I'm definitely considering these for landscape and sports photography. (Filters/Polarizers in general... not the set mentioned above... way out of my price range lol)

Thanks!
