I bought a Kood for my sigma 10-20 and what a waste of money. You get what you pay for, why buy an expensive lens then plonk on a cheap filter?
I now have a B&W slim MRC Kasemann CP and the difference is amazing.

I just got a Sigma 17-70 and looking for a CP as well, but I don't know if I can spend £70 on a filter for a lens that I bought for £160.
