Ideal, Lowepro are quality and all lifetime guarantee.  I'd like to get a Sleath reporter or a Crumpler Master Delhi  :cool:

How much?!

Next on my hit list is a tripod and a 50mm lense. Think I can use what I've got at the moment though before spending out more!

Could you explain what sort of set up you're talking about?

this image probable explains it the best



The square filter is free to slide up and down (as well as rotate) in the holder (could also be help in front of the lens) allowing the transition point of the gradient to be varied, for example you're photographing a sunset, with a circular GND you have to place the horizon on the transition point (which is fixed on the filter) this is probably going to put your horizon in the middle of the frame, with a square filter you can place the transition point where ever you want, allowing you to frame the shot with the horizon where you want, which would probably be 1/3 or 2/3 up the frame.  Where the GND isn't fixed you can move it up and down during the exposure to feather the transition further.  Obviously with a circular you could always crop the shot after.

Well bag and polarizer ordered :afro:

Nicely done :afro:

What bag did you go for out of interest, Lowe Pro?

got the same filters they are awesome esp when you need to bring out the detail in clouds etc \:)
