I tend to shoot landscapes so I'm looking at investing in a filter system for GNDs and as funding allows NDs as well.
Currently looking to use it with 550D and kit lens (@ 18mm most of the time) but want to be able to continue using it with a future setup of something along the lines of 5D Mk II + EF 16-35mm f/2.8L or TS-E 24mm f/3.5L. That dictates a wide angle version to minimise vignetting I believe.
Curious if anyone has cross-brand experience. From what I have read Cokin makes decent 'enthusiast' quality filters, but I have heard bad things about colour cast (which would be ok for NDs but not so much for GNDs). Lee I have heard are meant to be good and easier to use, but of course come at a premium price. I am open to and brand suggestions or a mismatch of a couple.
The next trouble I run across is availability in Australia. I haven't come across many site (or stores) that stock decent ranges of rectangular filters so any suggestions here are appreciated too.
Thanks for reading and cheers for any information you can provide. If there is anything I haven't made clear just let me know and I'll try and explain better.
