I have been considering getting a glass filter system for a while and given that I have a 16-35 it is tempting to get a 100mm system but I am really hung up on firstly the price and then which one to get, Nisi, Lee, Firecrest, something else? It looks like a holder, CPL plus a couple of filters is going to cost getting on for £400 which seems like a lot of money for what you get compared to a lens or camera body. I know the measurements indicate that glass is better than resin but in the real world, by the time a photo is processed and rendered to jpeg or printed is there a significant difference? Would I win a prize with a photo taken with a glass filter but not if the same shot used a resin filter? (not that I enter competitions anyway...).
Then which system? I like the fact that Nisi put the CPL in the body of the holder close to the lens but then Nisi don't seem to have much of an official presence, at least in the UK. I have also read that the Nisi holder is quite narrow and hard to use with other thicker filters.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Talk me down from the ledge?
