If they had the opportunity to buy one or the other, I don't know a single one (out of maybe 6) who wouldn't choose LEE.

That being said, I highly recommend it with the LEE foundation kit. I was able to use it with a 105mm LEE CP as well, as well as a LEE GND. The foundation kit gives you a lot of flexibility and is constructed well.

If you're interested in either the LEE Big Stopper or 105mm CP, PM me, since I have an extra of both.
I found one on Ebay and the seller said he could provide the foundation kit with a hood, 77mm lens adapter and all that for $350. But ended up canceling my bid because the seller sounded like an extreme douche and was very vague about the quality of what he's selling.

Let me know your best price, i'm interested.
