Question: which filter system to acquire for landscape?
PeterN:
I am looking for a filter kit for landscape photography. Lens diameters are 67-72-77mm. My widest lens is the 20mm on D750. Which kit/filters would you recommend that includes CP, ND hard/soft grad, and standard ND filters? Would you recommend a warming polarizer or not for Nikon? I heard that Lee is pretty good but it's very expensive. Cokin holder (Z-pro for wide angle) seems to be effective with Singh Ray filters but I don't think I can buy them here (Netherlands).
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for including the link, John. My search skills must be pretty basic because I searched for "filters" and 2 posts showed up but not this one. Some spectacular photos!
When Lee Filters is the way to go, I was hoping to get away with the 100mm instead of the SW150 but I will look into this system.
Bjørn Rørslett:
The massive 150mm filters applied in that thread were used for an AFS 14-24 Nikkor.

I use the LEE filter holder, it is high quality but a bit expensive. I have tried cheap Cokin holders, they are plastic fantastic, but they do their job. More important is the quality of the filters. Do not use Cokin filters! I use Hitec filters for ND grads, and LEE Big Stopper for 10-stops ND. For polarizer I use normal screw-in type, without filter holder. I have the Singh-Ray Colour Combo polarizer, but I don't like what it does to the colours. Go for a normal polarizer.
