Forget Tiffen.

Lee and HiTech are both good, quality filters.

I use Singh Ray, so I'm adding them to the poll.

Any particular reason you want to exclude one of the quality grad makers? The late Galen Rowell swore by them.

Just personally am looking at the 3 I listed. I am not looking to buy Sting. There for I don't want it in the poll. I here it is a good filter though. Glad you are enjoying.

Yes I vote for Singh Ray

I swear by them too - "Damn! (swear) they're good:D ;)

Look into my eyes, notaround the eyes into my eyes, 'get Singh Ray, get Singh Ray, get Singh Ray'

When I snap my fingers you will wake up and... "wake up"

Hitech filters are working great for me. I'm grateful for them when I'm hiking or out in nature somewhere - don't have to worry about easily breaking them. Saves a lot of money too!

I don't even think this is in the right forum.
I've used Tiffen and Singh-Ray. The latter was better.

Hitech filters but I would use the Lee holder if I had my time again, more flexible.

Lee user here. As Neil mentioned, the holder is very versatile. I've also found the filters to be free of colour cast, unlike Cokin grads.
Not cheap though.
