Hi all,

I own a 10-22mm WA Lens.
Would like to get a filter for my lens as a protection as well to take pictures
like landscape, scenery and building and etc...

I have decided this 2 filter

ND Graduated Filter and Polarizer Filter.

Which will be better for those pictures that I like to shot.

Thank you for your time to reply my question.

Best Regards
Duckie.

Both. Get a polarizer first and if you get ND grad, don't get the round type because it won't allow you to adjust it without changing your composition. But a polarizer is more useful for sure. I would actually skip the ND grad and get a ND solid filter.

Thanks for the advice...
Yesterday night was looking for the filter.
And notice there are 3 different types of ND Graduated filter (2x, 4x, 8x)
I was struck there... dont know which to choice.

For your advice I'll got for polarizer.
how many type or grade they have?
later, I'll be heading to the shop to check out the filter.
hope this time round I'll not stuck again....
