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.

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