To me, being from the US, it's easier to put them in inches, Lee and Hi-Tech both make 4" x 4", 4' x 6", and 6" x 6".
The 4 x 4 squares will be glass from Lee in ND 0.6, 0.9 Little Stopper and Big Stopper, 10x. Lee also makes a CL-PL in glass that is 4 x 4.
The 4 x 6 filters are resin, and tend to be grads, either soft or hard line.
The 6 x 6 filters from Lee are Resin and meant for the Nikon 14 x 24 with the SW-150 mount. However that mount can be adapted to other Lee mounts.
The Lee Glass ND's are excellent and have no color cast I can see in my work. They do scratch easier than most ND filters. The Lee CL-PL is also a great filter, but you have to remember to place the Lee lettering on the outside or the filter acts more like a warming filter. You can see the effect easily. The Lee 6x and 10x stoppers tend to cause a blue tint on longer exposures, due to IR pollution. There are other brands in a 4 x 4 stopper style that do have a better IR coating, that can fit the Lee holder.
The Lee resin grads, come in all colors and ranges of density. I used to use them a lot more than I do now since the DR of the cameras I use allows a lot more shadow push, when exposing for highlights. There are times I do like them for certain effects.
Hi-Tech makes several grades of filters and now they have glass filters also. Their quality has improved dramatically over the past 2 years and now I would put their glass on the same level as Lee, however as I own so many Lee filters, I don't use the Hi-Tech.
Hi-Tech resin for years like Cokin had a magenta cast, that has also been fixed and their resin filters are very good.
With your Canon, you just need to figure out which lenses you want to use and get the mounting rings. These come in a wide angle style and normal. For any lens 14mm to 50mm, I would use the wide angle ring. If you do use the wide angle ring, do not mount it in front of a CL-PL screw type filter as you will likely not be able to get the wide angle ring off. The wide angle rings fit over the outer edge of the lens, to help lessen vignetting, and thus you can't get to the CL-PL to hold it, so when you twist to take the wide angle ring off, the CL-PL turns also.
Both Lee and Hi-Tech can be purchased at
www.2filter.com in the U.S. They are very close to both companies and an excellent dealer.
