Split ND Filters - Advice Please

[Josh-H]

All,

I could use some advice please on which split ND filters to purchase [no fussed on price - prefer performance. For use with Canon D5 and 1DS Mk. II. Mostly for use with 16-35mm F2.8L and 70-200 F2.8L IS.

I have decided that I would prefer to muck around with filters in the field than in front of my computer blending images. I also dont like the artificial look of a lot of HDR over processed images. If I can get it right in the field - its virtually no work in front of the PC.

Any reccomendations? I have briefly looked at the lee filters - and they have a starter kit which looks intersting.

I was thinking the lee:
NDG-SET:
.3ND grad soft
.6ND grad soft
.9ND grad soft

I would use them for landscape work.
thanks.

Lee filters are excellent. Singh-Ray is also an alternative.

I conur with Francois.  

I actually like my Singh-Ray's better then Lee, since they offer more options (i.e. greater then 3 stop ND grads and their Reverse ND grads).  but the Lee Grad set is probably the better deal (at least in Canada).
