Wine Country?

I'm looking at purchasing the Wine Country Filter System. It looks to be a very well put together filter system. If anyone uses or has used this system I would greatly appreciate any comments about it.

I just looked at the system, very nice. I'LL tell you what, you but one and tell us how it works.
It looks like you would really have to be into using filters to but one of the complete kits or even the holder and one filter.

for $300 you can get a very nice 1/2 case of wine
I still use duct tape or what ever is handy for attaching filters.
Your call its very pretty ....Id rather have the Wine.

$300? For a Filter Holder and a 72mm adapter ring? Seriously? Oh, it's got Rosewood touches.
You owe it to yourself, if you want to get into rectangular ND filters, please look at Breakthrough Photography's X100 system; $49 for the holder and $7 for the adapter rings, and the quality design/build/execution/use is excellent. I got mine as a Kickstarter backer, but they are flying off the shelves.

After taking a look at these reviews, I think it is a well-designed and executed system that sees to answer all of my concerns about drop-in fliter systems. I particularly like the "filter vault" concept.

I am planning on using Breakthrough filters with the WineCountry holder system. I agree the Breakthrough filters are second to none. But the rest of their system leaves a lot to be desired. Just my opinion.

I use the J Winery or Jordan's winery. I have always had good results with those two.

Ok. You guys will probably mop the floor with me for this comment. Admittedly, I have not viewed anything more than the photo the OP included, but just from that image of the filter holder it appears waaaaaay over built for the task of holding a filter to the front of your lens. What’s with all the buttons, gears, and OMG, rosewood trim!?🤭😧😮😲

Way over built? Maybe. One of the biggest problems with this type of filter holder is light leaks. Many of the "other brands" of holders do not tackle this issue. The buttons are for locking the filters (which are held in a filter vault) into place as you slide them up or down, the gears are for the built-in removable circular polarizer, and the rosewood trim, well it's way over built!

Light leaks only apply for ND filters like the Lee Stopper range, which have a rim of foam to block out stray light and are intended to be placed in the first slot of a filter holder right next to the lens. Not for Graduated ND's which are usually larger than your lens from element.

YA, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I AM GOING TO BE USING, GRADUATED ND FILTERS!
