I'm preparing for a trip to Colorado in September, and would like to have some ND filters to use for waterfalls and sky photos. I've looked at adorama, B&H, amazon, ebay, google, youtube for information on the various square/rectangular filter systems. I'd love to get the Lee system, but a little too expensive. I noticed several times in my searching the Vu and Nisi systems, but have not found a lot of information about them. Are these similar in quality to Lee? Does anyone have experience using the Vu and Nisi systems, and would you recommend them? Or should I just save up my nickels and dimes and get Lee someday?

I tried some other brands years ago and color cast were really. Decided to go to lee and I haven't looked back. Advise buy the best you can afford. Like a tripod first one 30 bucks. Second one 100 bucks. Final one. 400 - 800 bucks

I use the Cokin system and I am pleased. They have adapter rings for various filter sizes. They have little to no color cast and are easy to adjust if you have a graduated split ND. It is easy to use 2 or 3 at one time. Not very expensive, unless you have very large filter sizes, like 88 mm and up. Cokin has 3 different groups of sizes depending on your filter sizes.

There is a company called "The Filter Connection" based out of NH...They carry nothing but filters.....the folks that answer the phone are very knowledgeable and honest...besides that they carry all the top brands. I spoke with the owner a few years back and got a lesson on filters in a 20 minute phone call then I've learned in my entire lifetime. The plus and minus of brands, types, etc...they are very helpful...I've purchased from them several times. I highly recommend a phone call to them or you can check out their website...http://www.2filter.com/
I also agree, buy the best you can afford....cheap is not the best way to go...you'll probably be unhappy with the results....Good luck with your purchase.

I use Haida...less expensive than Lee and uses the same type of glass (by Schott http://www.us.schott.com/english/applications/optics.html)

I use cheap Kenko ND screw-ins and love them. Small, light, scratch resistant, decent quality and multicoated. Oh, did I mention inexpensive? Being a professional I have no need to look professional. I just want whatever will do the job quickly and easily.
