Thor,

I am using Lee. I first opted for Hi-Tech but they could not supply the Bay VI adaptor and were unable to say how many months it would take for them send me one. Those parts are sourced out. Lee had theirs in stock. This is a point to consider. Ask when ordering. A few hundred €/$ of filters and holders are completely useless without the lens adaptor. Some people I have talked to feel Lee ND Grads are the best. Lee takes "special orders" like a "81B to .6 ND Grad Hard". It is best to order Lee filters straight from the factory in Andover, U.K. They are used to taking orders. I had mine in 2 weeks. Getting them through dealers was hopeless.

Best,
Ferdi.

There appear to be several companies selling filter holders (i.e. a set of slots to mount on the lens to accept 100mm filters).

Lee
Hi-Tech
Tiffen
Cokin
others

Maybe even Rollei makes something like this, I don't know.

What I'd like to know, is what people finds works well with the system 6000, for outdoor use (landscape, cityscape, etc), with both Bay VI, 77mm (40/3.5 S-A) and 95mm (90/4 APO-Symmar).

I expect to use primarily graduated filters, perhaps a B&W color filter once in a while, nothing more.

Cheers,
Thor
