I am new to the filters world and have been doing some research.
I'd like to get some comments/examples/experiences on the Lee filter system. Although expensive looks to me it has the highest quality (important) and the widest range of filters (very important).
I'd like to hear from Lee filter system users (promoters/detractors...) their experiences and in the case they recommend it, what should be my starting kit.
Any issues with vignetting?

Thanks!

I moved over to Lee filters recently and have been very pleased with the quality they offer. I was using Hitech which are also good and cheaper, but there can be supply problems.
I have the ND grad set which was my primary reason for getting them. I also have the square version of the circular polariser and just bought a 3 stop ND filter.
Yes, they are expensive, but you pay for quality.
There are 2 types of adapter, normal and wideangle. I got the wideangle to be on the safe side and have had no problems with vignetting on my 17-40mm, so you should be fine.
