Hey Taz thanks a lot for the examples they are really helpful....
does give you some nice rich colours.......
when you do use the B2 do you often use the ND in conjunction? or do you find that sometimes the ND is enough on its own

Yes, the B2 and G2 do work well together. I think this pair of filters produces nicer skies than a polarising filter. The B2 alone is very subtle. It would be nice to try a polarising filter combined with the other two; however, I dont have the cokin polariser :(- its on the wish thou!
I did a fair bit of research on these before buying. I use the larger 4x6 Singh-Ray ND Grads. You can also get them to fit the popular Cokin "P" holder. Mine fit the bigger Lee holder. You find many people buying the smaller size filters then finding out they causin vignetting using a wider lens.Quote:

Singh-Ray ND filters are well known for their quality and neutrality. The down side is they cost top $$$$. But at least you don't have to buy them twice :)

That example shot on your page shows quite a cast with the cokin filters! Shame that Singh Ray are so expensive...
From looking at the example shots on various filter makers pages do grad NDs help remove the haze in long distance landscapes by evening out the exposure. Or is this just part of their post processing to make their filters look better?
