p.3 #1 · Lee filetrs and polariser?


Hi Rob
Try getting your filters from the UK.
The exchange rate is very good at the moment. I have purchased from this place before. They are really good to deal with.

Hi George,

Thanks, I've used teamwork photo before , they made multiple mistakes on my order but did in the end get it almost right..

Pricing Lee from a number of sources seems to work out about the same cost, but only if I ignore shipping and manage to skip any import duty!

I've found a place in NZ that seems to have stock of most things and decent prices...

That looks close but I've seen/read a bigger difference from others.

The hitech i have are OK but do give a colour cast when stacked.

Same for one of my mates... I think the guy who receives the order and the guy who packs the order need to work on their teamwork just a little.

The 4 stop NDs I have from Hitech also give strong magenta color cast. However, my understanding is that the 10 stop ND Prostop line are made with a different chemistry.
I also havea Lee Big Stop and one day I discovered a corner of it had broken off while in a padded sleeve. Others have also reported the fragility of the Lee glass 10 stop ND. All have reported a cool blue color cast to the Lee Big stop as well, so that option is not trouble free.

Just a quick bump, I'm a bit slow but getting there!

I now have a Lee holder and 77/82mm wa adaptors , with a 105mm thread ring on the way and a set of 3 soft nd grads. I already have a set of 100mm hitech ND's

So next up is sell the hitech/cokin and buy a 105mm circ polariser and a set of hard grads, then big stopper + singhray reverse grad.

I may go for the $30 polariser for a laugh , if it works well enough no harm done? Looks pretty thick tho?

For $190, the Lee 4 inch square circular polarizer: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/216637-REG/LEE_Filters_PLC_G_4x4_Circular_Polarizer_Glass.html

And for $29.95, a very low cost but fairly high quality multicoated filter off of eBay, the Zeikos 105mm screw in circular polarizer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zeikos-105mm-MC-CPL-Circular-Polarizer-Filter-105-NEW-/330716163591?pt=Camera_Filters&hash=item4d00382e07

And the pro holder system that allows two different angles for two grad ND holders adds quite a bit of extra thickness of the whole assembly, so you would likely have problems with it on a 24mm lens, but I have never tried it.
