I use those, like them a lot. I would also go for the largest adaptor ring and buy step up rings.

Price is shooting up and I still have to buy Nd filters for water/sky effects , mmmm but I think its worth building up a set of quality filters rather than go cheaper and quicker so im ok buying and building I think.

Cheers AL

I would certainly standardise on a 100mm system rather than 85mm if you're into this long term. You'll find a better selection of quality filters in the future if you want to expand and include other effect filters.

I use the Hi tech filters but the 100mm ones they work well.

Think this is good advice. If you have taken the decision to assemble a decent set then the 100mm is the way forward. It will allow you to use Lee filters should you decide they offer what you want in the future.

Not sure, as I've not used the 85mm filters, whether you would get some vignetting on a FF with wide angle lenses.
