Using a CP affects the whole image, using a ND Grad filter affects the part of the pic you want.

This was taken with a ND Grad - if I used a CP the foreground would be darker as well (which I didn't want) so I'd lose some detail in the rock.



They have quite different uses.

I got 3 Cokin ND grad's (with the adapter for the lens) for under $100 AUS, they aren't that expensive.
