<< Can anyone recommend a system to use for this purpose? I currently have all
49mm lenses, although I would consider a 55mm filter holder to accomodate
future :-) lenses...
Are there any filter systems which will work on the 21/3.5, and if so, what
size, if any, step-up ring do I need? A 2stop ND grad seems to be the most
common/useful - is this a fair assessment?

I have a 21/3.5 and the Cokin P system. There is only very slight vignetting.
My Cokin ND grad was greenish and ruined several Death Valley sunset pictures
(I know, I know, test unknown equipment before using). I recently bought a
HiTech ND2 grad and hope it does better ($35.00 at a photo swap.) The HiTech
is nice because it is 11 cm long-enough to cover the need for a grad at either
the top or bottom of the photo. I have some Cokin 49mm predecessors called
Chromofilters but the horizon always has to be in the middle of the shot. The
Tiffens are all glass I think but pricey.
Singh Ray suggests a 2 stop soft and 3 stop hard for an initial set up. The
downside is that they are also plastic.
