Hi everyone. So after asking some questions and doing a boat load of research I think I am going to swing a LEE filter system with the WA adaptor for my 18-55 with some Hitech filters to be used in that system due to finances and weighing pros and cons of each.
So this brings me to my post. Can anyone recommend a good website where I can either get both at once, or separate websites? I realize I could just "google" filters and see what comes up but it doesn't give me any information on people's experiences with each. So, how about it? Thanks a ton! This place is a great source for all photo enthusiasts. What did everyone do before the internet is beyond me when they had questions.

I was looking for exactly the same setup at the beginning of this year. I tried 2filter first, as people recommended it as the "cheapest". Ordered, got a reply the next day that half of what I wanted was out of stock. Went to B&H and, surprise surprise, the price actually is almost identical there, and if you use Bing for 2% cash back, it gets to be cheaper to order from B&H.

Lee Foundation kit ($74.44 at 2filter, $74.95 before Bing at B&H):

Adapter rings - not sure which one you need for 18-55, but if it's 58mm, it's out of stock at B&H and with 2filter you never know if it is, so I'd look elsewhere (eBay?)

HiTech graduated filters ($66.43 each at 2filter, $62.50 each at B&H):

ETA - That is all assuming you're in the US, as you didn't mention your location.

Rodents- Thanks! That's just what I was looking for! Yeah, my lense is the 58mm kit lense. I will try looking around. Photo equip. sure is darn expensive! Just to get your basic basics is an arm and a leg. Crazy. All i wanna do is go travel and take photos, but to do it properly, I need some basic equipment and supplies and it's crazy. I'll check out both of those places. ANyone else know of any place?
