recommend me a filter please

[bechdan]

Im looking for a 77mm ND4 graduated filter to use on my sigma 10-20mm lens but can only seem to find cheapo ones. Ive already got a few cheap filters but want to upgrade now that I know which one I use most.
I dont want to use cokin as I dont like the way they attach and I dont think they will work with a wide angle lens.
Any suggestions welcomed.

Ive found Tiffen one but in the UK they are very expensive, what do you think of this one?

I think that 0.6 might not be enough. Barely 1/2 stop which you can easily create in post processing.

 

[bechdan]

no no no 0.6 = 2 stop

 

[Marcel]

no no no 0.6 = 2 stop

Then it should be OK. It just didn't look that dark from the website.

B+W make excellent filters and B&H Photo Video sells the B+W 77mm 0.6 GND for 98USD and they'll ship internationally. Probably not your cheapest option, though.
