Re: ND Filters
I use Hitech 85mm square ND filters with a Cokin P holder. They aren't exactly "cheap" but they are more economical than Sing-Ray (which are the best). Using the square holders allow you to use the system with different lens diameters, from 58mm up to 77mm for me, and switch out filters simply. Some down sides are you have to be aware of glare, or stacking too many filters at once, but both can be mitigated. Having a range of filters, .3, .6, 1.2, will help with being prepared for the right scene. There is also a hood system that can be used for times when glare is an issue, though I have better luck using a scrim or my hand to shield the front lens.
