Any suggestions for mid-range filters?

    I really need a decent set of filters as I've been making do with the circular screw in type filters but they're a bit limiting and fiddly.

    I would love to get some Lee or NiSi filters but the cost is just insane, even just the Lee polariser for my mirrorless (seven5 system) is €270 on Conscameras.ie. I have seen some very cheap filters on Amazon but can't imagine that £25 for a full set of filters means they are very good quality.

    Is there anything mid-range? I'd be looking for a filter holder, polariser, hard grad ND and maybe a 6 or 10 stop ND. Probably willing to spend around €200-€300.

    Been away from the photography thread for a while.

    Think I saw that set and someone copied a link to Ireland from the roadside facebook page and they are pure junk.

    I am also looking for filters. Was looking at Lee filters and just wonder if it is worth the outlay €300 for a started kit. I currently use Hi-Tech filters and they are ok. Think the set cost around £60.Used as a single filter they are ok but you get a cast when using 2. I have a 3 stop blender and I like that. But I would like a decent 10 stop filter. The Hi-Tech 100mm x 100mm filter fits the Cokin P System holder.

    Recently I see Hi-Tech have released the Firecrest range of filters and they get good reviews. Also Cokin have upgraded their filters and are supposed to be decent now in comparison to what they were. The only problem I found with either of the above brands is the scratch very easily.
