Hello All--
I'm in the process of revamping my grad ND filter collection and in-so-doing am purchasing a new filter holder as well. I'll be purchasing Singh Ray Grads (and reverse grads) and am looking for some help on a holder. I shoot a 5D, and need a holder that will allow me to shoot to 17mm with no vignetting. It appears, according to Cokin, that the only holder that will allow that is their X-Pro holder, which holds 170x130 mm filters (huge). I can only imagine how expensive a filter of that size would run with Singh Ray and am wondering if I can get away with their Z-Pro holder. If the X-Pro and super large filters are the only way to go, then I can do it. I don't have a problem paying for quality, but if there's any other way to do it for a bit less, that would be preferred. Does anyone have any experience with filter holders at wide angles? Which work best? Any other filter insight/suggestions, etc. are more than welcome. Thanks for any help you can provide.
