I just bought the Singh-Ray Vari-N-Duo... its a variable ND with built in polarizer...
haven't tried it out on the camera yet but it does work just looking thru it and adjusting
the ND/Polarizer... also ordered enough step rings so I can use it on most of my lenses.

Please let us know how that works out. I was considering getting one as well, it's just that they seem ridiculously expensive. It would cost nearly three times what I paid for the old manual Nikon lens that I would put it on. As of right now, I'm leaning more to getting some ND filters and doing things the old fashioned way.

I'm still building my lens kit. But my question is what lens hoods are you guys using for the outdoor stuff? The flower petal style hoods, rubber hoods,....? (Post a link if possible)

Maybe I posted in the wrong thread...but I'll answer my own question for now. Seems the Canon hood is the best choice, at least for IS zoom lenses. It has a bayonet mount rather than the screw on type (which could be an issue if using auto focus?). It's not the petal style though, and cost 3x as much.
