For you landscape photogs out there, I've been using the feathering technique with success in my photography. By using this technique, you move the GND during the exposure as to not see the grad line. You can do this with a holder or hand held. It does take some practice but, once you get used to it, you'll definitely see a difference.

Here's a Youtube link that maybe helpful to you. Enjoy! :)

Does this work with Canon cameras?

(jk!)

And an interesting technique to be sure. Is it just as valid with a soft GND, or is it more effective with hard GNDs?

You can use it with both soft and hard GNDs.

Your welcome Anke. I've been using this technique for awhile now. Some would never think to move the GND during the exposure but, it really works. :)

Thanks for the link Julian, I've read about this technique before but never tried it. Another reason the larger 4x6 filters come in handy, the are much easier to hand hold especially if you're moving the filter to feather the grad line.

Your welcome Daniel. I agree with the larger 4x6 filters being much easier to hand hold. :)
