$200 for hood? Are you kidding me?
For a hood that will accept filters... Obviously you dont own a 14-24, shoot with filters or both... For most of us that is the only problem with this amazing piece of glass... $149 isnt so bad compared to the Lee kit.

I had one and sold it because it didn't have a hood.
I'm not buying it again because there's one now. I switched to Zeiss even more amazing pieces of glass, maybe not as wide but 21mm or 25mm works well for me on FF.

This looks like a much nicer kit than the lee kit, but graduated ND filters aren't going to work unless there is some sort of adapter that can be screwed in to the filter threads.
The one thing that I really like about this is the fact that the step up ring acts as a big black shade preventing stray light from reflecting off the back side of the filter and decreasing contrast. That's one thing I can't stand about my current cokin/Singh-Ray setup.
Just ordered the filter-holding hood, metal lens cap, and circ pol filter. I've been waiting for a product like this.
Ed, thanks and curses for posting this. You pointed out a product I've been needing, but in so doing caused $255 to fly out of my wallet. The curses will apply briefly, when I pay my bill. The thanks will--with luck--apply repeatedly when I use the new setup.
The Lee approach never appealed to me. Seemed too much like my old Cokin/Singh-Ray assemblage for other optics--which I found myself avoiding.
At last, a polarizing filter on my 14-24mm, without an ungainly, light-leaking bunch of junk. Bet the Fotodiox hood and lenscap will remain semi-permanently on my lens. (Which lives in a Pelican case, so no worries about fitting it into a bag.)

Does any one know how good the 145 mm filters made by Fotodiox like the CPL. ND or UV are?
So far as I know, they are the only ones that produces 145mm filters.
