You're not able to adjust the filter without drastically affecting your composition if the graduation line happens to be in the 'wrong' location. You'd be much better off with a rectangular style GND filter...much better in terms of the ability to adjust (up, down, or at any angle) to suit your composition.

Other than price and size (Hitech=4x5,$; Lee=4x6, $$), I can't see a whole lot of difference between them. Personally, I've been using Hitechs and have been very satisfied with them. All comes down to how much you want to spend. "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son". - Dean Wormer
