You want cheap or good? We sell the LEE 4x6 GND filter for $129 each, or $325 for a set of three. Cokin filters are a bit cheaper, but they have a colour cast to them.

You can get the screw-in type of GND, but with those, you're stuck with having the graduation in the middle of the image. There is no moving it up or down. With the Cokin Z-Pro or LEE filter 4x6 system, you have a lot of vertical movements, so you can have the horizon anywhere you want. You need to buy a filter ring adapter and a holder too. This can cost quite a bit. The Cokins are cheaper, but not made very well. The LEE system is made very solidly, but the adapter, holder and a filter will set you back about $375 before taxes.
