hi everyone, i've got the indiesnap mattebox and must now decide upon a few filters - i will be shooting outdoors quite a lot and have been advised to get a .3, .6 and .9 ND filter and circular polarizer. however, that's a lot of bloody money (glass just seems so much better than gel)! Any suggestions? ie. do i really need all of these filters?
any suggestions would be appreciated.
cheers

It depends on what you're talking about. Are the ND filters grads, or are they full NDs? If they're not grads, I can't imagine that you'll need either the .6 or .9, as you can stack the .3 on the front of the lens & essentially take it to a .9 with the 2 built in.

The polarizer is a good call, however!
