Thanks guys for your replies. My problem is, I've already bought the Cokin Z Pro holder (should arrive tomorrow) and it looks like it's not enough; per Tareq it'll vignette at around 20mm on FF (in my case 16-35II on 5DII).
I guess I should return it and buy the LEE holder; which items do I need? Lee system is a little confusing :)

I have the Cokin Z Pro holder, and although I'm not shooting with FF I don't have any vignetting with my 10-20mm on the @10mm unless I stack 3 my filters and then I just have to zoom in to maybe 13mm. I think the Lee filter holder and the Cokin Pro Z holder are about the same (both designed to hold 4x6 filters) although I do hear the Lee holder is a bit nicer.

This was taken using a 4 x 6 Singh-Ray 3-Stop Reverse Neutral Density Graduated Hard-Step Filter on a Cokin Z-Pro holder with 1D Mark III and 16-35 mm f/2.8L. There was no processing done to the raw file except for sharpening. Exposure was set for FG.

The Lee holder is awesome and I'll never go back to screw on CPLs and/or NDs. When I'm out shooting landscapes, my Lee holder is on my 16-35 II or 24-70 most of the time. Happy shooting! :)

Here's a link to the filter holder I'm talking about.

Taken with the 1Ds MK III and 16-35 II. I used the Singh Ray 4 stop GND soft and Lee 4x4 CPL.

Julian that's a great shot!

Guys thanks for all your help, looks like the LEE holder is the way to go, unfortunately B&H is out of stock :(

I don't have much money so I bought a $13 ND Grad from ebay. It's not too bad.
these are straight out of the camera no tweaking in photoshop, except stitching the wide shot together.

I bought from them with the adapter ring, not me alone, but with 2 of my friends as well with some filters.

You guy's are going to cost me a lot of money. I am looking at this kit to start. http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …Starter_Kit.htm​l#includes (external link)
I thought lee nd filters were resin? In this kit is says the nd is proglass? I will probably get a graduated or two from 2filter.com. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks
By the way all these pictures are great. Will be going to Glacier Park this fall and will probably not have to much early and late light chances.

Used Lightroom 2 to do this. Would like filters to take it right.

You are correct sir. The 2 stop ND in that kit is made of glass and the Lee GND is made of resin. I just recieved my Lee 3 stop NDs x 2 today and I can confirm it's made of glass. :) Happy shooting! :)

thanks, although compressing to jpeg doesn't do it any justice.

Nice red cloud, but they screws POTN layout on my 1440x900 resolution laptop. I think you forgot to read the posting rules about image size (width & height). ;)
