Recommended me polarising ND filters

Hi
Can you recommend a polarising & ND filter please.
For use with moving water & ocean shots.
Can good filters be had without costing a fortune?
For an old Nikon D610 & Sigma 35mm with 67mm filter thread. Don't use autofocus.
Do you have to spend a fortune or would a £20 filter be ok? What about a polarising & ND all in one?
Have to be from the rainforest atm. Thanks.

I may be spectacularly wrong but I wasn't aware there was such thing as an all in one solution, it's either one or the other - although of course you can stack filters.
I've never spent a fortune on filters, the most expensive could well be my 10 stop nd which was around £45 from memory. Gobe do a solid line which I'm guessing you'll have come across if you're shopping on the rainforest. I've owned a couple of Amazon basics polarisers as well and they were more than adequate.

You won’t get an all in one!

marumi have a good reputation for affordable polarisers, I’ve had a few different sizes and never been disappointed.

I saw a polariser & ND combo & thought it was 1 lens, D'oh!
Anyway the lens is quite good so maybe looking these filters:
Gobe 67mm Circular Polarizing (CPL) Lens Filter (3Peak)
Gobe 67mm ND1000 (10 Stop) ND Lens Filter (2Peak)

marumi. I'll have a look thanks

Got the filters above from Gobe. First shoot with them below 070720. Using both filters at the same time, so 12 stops :eek:

Had to set the pic up before attaching the 10ND filter.
Really impressed with the quality & the bottom image is at full resolution.

An easy step-down assist method especially how expensive filters are.
Until I get another lens this 35mm has become welded to the camera :rolleyes:
