ND Filter Advice

[geebs2006]

I have been looking to invest in some ND filters to use with my Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens and my 18-55mm lens.

I was going to go with LEE filters, but adding up the cost I think it may be too much to be spending for a hobbyist like myself.

I have started looking at cheaper alternatives but not sure what will work in terms of the wide angle lens I have.

Could anyone give me some advice on what I would need to go for if I went for the cheaper brands? New to ND filters and feel I'm getting a bit lost in terms of what I would need.

Hitech 100mm filters should be ok, they're very good quality now but make sure you get the right holder otherwise you could suffer from light ingress

I recently stumbled across this thread http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=319012. Very informative and the comments may answer your questions.
I'm looking into Cokin P series and Hitech filters. Yet to decide on what I want tho!

Thanks guys. Think I may actually go with Lee's. Bit better off than I thought.

One thing - where is the best place to buy from? WEX seem to be out of stock of nearly everything and Amazon seem to be all over the place. Ebay have a couple of good deals.

I've ordered Lee stuff from Speedgraphic and Dale Photographic in the past. Both arrived quickly despite being out of stock at the time.

Also, both take Paypal, so it doesn't feel like you're spending real money.

This made me laugh, Paypal would be handy though as I have funds sitting in there.
