Hey all,

I'm a Lee user, and I have all your typical Lee filters such as GNDs and the 4x4 CPL as well as the Big Stopper. However, I was curious to know what some of you out there are using beyond the traditional filters. I see that Lee offers some of the sets like the 'Landscape' Set, but I didn't know if there were filters out of those kits that you found to be more useful than others.

So, in any case, if you're using filters that aren't the standard ones, let me know what they are and what applications you're using them for. I'm trying to round out my kit, and just need a direction to head in.

Thanks
-Mike

I don't know about anyone else but I see most of the specialized filters as fairly useless now a days. Most of what they do can be done in computer now a days. Heck even GND filters are becoming less useful with the ease of access and ease of use of HDR programs (I still carry a couple GND though)

CPL's and ND's seem to be that last two truly useful filters.

Yeah, and I see where you're coming from, but there are some of us left that don't want to do it in computer. There's something about getting it right in the field that I really enjoy, which I guess is why I'm asking.
