Help with ND Grad filter

triggerhappy · Feb 28, 2005

I want to buy one but am having trouble sourcing them in the UK. Jessops et al don't seem to stock any. Can anyone suggest a brand of filter and a uk stockist that I could use. (I'm after a square filter btw.)

Thanks

Hmm...Parks Cameras are your best bet...they are way better than jessops no doubt...great customer service...and they know what they are talking about

Ohh and another place...try in brighton...near the jessops on Queens road...take the first road to the right as your walking towards the station, then head down, there should be a nice lille place called Clocktower cameras...they are second hand and MIGHT have a nice Nd grad for like £2

Fantastic. I need to go and visit my brother again anyway, so will give it a try.

Thanks for the tips

Cokin ND grads often seem to appear on ebay, at very good prices too!

I got mine from a local "real" camera shop, second hand, in the 50p tray - and at that price I went mad and got some idiotic filters that I may only ever use once, but wotthehell archie wotthehell.

Clocktower cameras? I wonder how long they have been going, as the name rings a bell (oops, sorry) Is that down North Street, maybe? (I was born in Brighton, have only visited twice since I left there in 1977)

I found it, it is in Church Street.

That URL shows a map - and it is amusing to me, because I used to work at the old Dixons store that was about 2 blocks away, and that was actually at the Clock Tower. The map refers to Clocktower's old shop that was in Air Street, which was probably the old newsagents I used to go to for my weekly copy of AP. Aah the memories.
