Anyone know who makes them/where to get them? I've been searching the Web and they seem to exist but I haven't been able to find a source.
Thanks,

Re: source for 72mm GRADIENT ND filters?
Moe,
A circular-threaded ND grad filter is not going to do much good for you because you can't shift the gradient line up and down. You're better off buying a P-sized Cokin filter adapter with 72mm adapter and a Hitech (Formatt) P-size ND Grad filter. That would give you an inexpensive setup that allows you to shift the grad line--essential for composing a shot where the horizon line isn't smack dab in the middle of the frame.

Thanks to both of you. Does the Cokin hold 3x3 or 4x4. The Minolta site told me nothing.
Is there something special about the Format brand or is it a matter of availability?
Thanks again,
Snoddy

Re: source for 72mm GRADIENT ND filters?
Thanks for indulging me here. Why do you place Formatt in parenthesis? The Formatt site makes no reference to Hitech and the source I found for Hightech made no reference to Formatt. What's the difference besides price? I'm just wanting to know what I'm buying and info on these filters (filters in general) seems hard to find.
Thanks,

Hitech filters and accessories are shown on the Formatt website under still photography.
Formatt has been making resin filters for quite a while, they only started making and selling glass filters (which primarily consist of a thin resin filter sandwiched between glass) around 1998.
