I have just invested in the Lee filters (ND soft grad set) bought, with a Lee 10 holder wallet, from the UK. They were much cheaper. I thought I had ordered the holder and ring but something went wrong and I had not. I bought it a Vanbar, and they got it o me in 48 hours in time for this trip.

The holders are far and away better than the Cokin. You can buy more bits and stack them so ypou cvan fir 5-6 filters. The filters are superb! As far as I am concerned (IMHO) Cokin are not even in the same 'ball park' - and I am a long time enthusiast of Cokin filters. The investment is well worth it. I plan to get a few more as I go, a grad set (think it is sunset) which has a tobacco and a couple of others.

See if you can find a local stockist and have a look so ypu can compare for yourself.

If you are near the Gold Coast you can come and look at my filters if you like (LOL at the unintended pun here!), or I hope to be at the meetup in a week or two.
