Sorry I haven't replied yet Stuart - i'll reply here as well.

Do I prefer the cokin-type over the screw in? I dunno, I guess it's more convenient. The slip-in slip-out is handy and fast. The filter holder holds a circular polariser and 3 filters, though the middle slot has no spring things to hold it in place, so it falls out easily.

I've used the circular polariser, the sunset, the graduated grey, the graduated tobacco and the 6x ND. They're all great except for maybe the sunset filter, which would only be useful in some circumstances.

I've stacked the graduated grey as well as the 6x ND to really be able to push the exposure times without overexposing - I found it especially useful for waterfall shots, where I'd use the filters, stop the lens down to f/22 or more and expose for 8-10 seconds.

The ebay store at the beginning of the thread was fine to deal with, although postage wasn't cheap.
