So I am wanting to get ND filters, but I use an ultra wide angle lens the Canon 17-40mm on the 5D. I am wanting the ability to significantly decrease my shutter speed to be able to completely blur water. I want to be able to use my CPL as well as a ND and possibly a GND as well. From what I can find stacking filters will cause either significant vignette or the filter housing will be visible at 17mm and possibly as high as 24mm. So I am looking at the holder systems such as the Cokin and the Lee. I would rather go for quality. I spend good money on my lenses so I don't really want to put something of inferior quality in front of it. I am leaning towards the Lee and the big stopper. I have several hundred dollars in my photo account so money wise I am willing to spend for good quality. My concern with Cokin is color cast and also resolution. I have a b&w MRC CPL currently that I would like to be able to use with whatever I buy.
Does anyone have experience with stacking filters on the 17-40mm lens? Experience with the Lee and/or Cokin systems either in general or on the 17-40? Any other input? Can I use my current CPL with either kit?
