Best place to buy Lee filters

Looking to invest in holder and a soft grad.... Think I should put more effort into the taking and less into Photoshop !!!!
Price is a bit scary for the Lee system, so could I get away with a Cokin system, with Lee filters ?

Finding a supplier with stock seems tricky, WEX have a lot out stock now, and has been for weeks.... Looking for 67, 77, 82 and 95mm adapter rings.

If you can afford it get the Lee system.

I had the Cokin for a week, hated it, gave it away and bought the Lee System. I know it's just a Filter system but the quality is so much better.

As for stockists, Robert White normally have good stock : www.robertwhite.co.uk

There can be a wait for some of the Lee Filters, the Big Stopper is normally the hardest to get though.

Cokin systems are perfectly fine. i have one and it produces some cool shots for me. nothing wrong with them

I used Cokin P before moving to 100mm filters - I'm glad I did.

Whilst I didn't shell out for Lee glass, I did buy the Lee holder. Most of my filters are Hitech. Teamwork Photo is a good place to buy. You can save a fair bit of money by going second hand via Talk Photography or the Bay.

It's an investment, but it's worth it.

I bought my bigstopper from wex. If you follow them on Facebook, they more often than not announce when they have them in stock as they're so popular.
