Not sure if this is the answer you were looking for but I use the same Lee holder system and I also have their glass polarizer that you mentioned. Last weekend I shot this image.

I used my 17-35AFS Nikon lens with this image with a 2 stop hard grad + warming polarizer and then finally the polarizer stacked in the holder. As long as you place the polarizer in the last postion I have not experience any vignetting in stacking filters.

I went outside just now and took both of these shots, tripod mounted with a polarizer and 8-stop vari-ND attached to lengthen the exposure before slapping on a 3-stop GND.
These photos are the GOLD standard of this genre. Congratulations Marc.
Marc,
I have been looking for the answer to this question for quite a while now and this looks like my best shot for a solution to my query. I use a Canon 5D with a Canon 17-40 when shooting landscapes. I use a Lee filter system and I have a 3 stop hard a 3 stop soft and a 2 stop soft GND filter in my current collection. Here is the question in which an answer thus far has eluded me. I want to use a circular polarizer at the same time I have the GND on the lens. Lee sells a circ pol filter that is 105mm. Marc, I see that you used a vari-ND, a circ pol, and a 3 stop GND......all at the same time!!! I would love to do this.....but......before investing in the equipment..........I was under the impression that vignetting would be very dramatic on the photos with all of those stacked filters. If you can tell me from first hand experience that a multifilter set-up such as the one you used does not cause vignetting.....then I am going to place the order asap. I have asked the question in other forums and have literally received no answers.
Thank you Marc.
Mark didn't want to hijack your thread. Love the result of both of these images and have made a note to experiment on moving the filter quickly into shooting into the sun to compare the results. Al B
