Cheers for all the help and suggestions.

I'm going to put some filters down on my Christmas list for sure .

Linhof Studio have just sent me (as webmaster for Leigh Camera Club) an email with their latest offer for the Lee Filters. If you are on Facebook the same offer has just been posted.

Well I'm going against the consensus here as I use screw in filters. There is a lot less additional equipment needed in the first place and much quicker to screw on a filter than to assemble the frame work that is needed for the Lee type. Downside, yes you need ones that suit all your lenses if they are of a different thread size. I only really use 3 lenses and they are all 77mm, not an issue for me.

I use the Hitech 16 stopper and for me it's amazing. I also bought a Hoya 10 stop recently and that seems to be performing just as well.

Another vote for screw on filter, i have B&W 10, 6 and 3 and if i need a 16 i add the 10 and 6. I have the canon 17-40 and 24-105 both 77mm and never felt the need to square. You can see my 10 and 16 stop picture here and flickr for e.g..
