It's becoming painfully obvious that the wee Canon G10 is doing most of the heavy lifting in this project so far. Maybe that will change when the weather gets better and the big guns come out? In the meantime I have treated the G10 to an adapter kit from Lensmate in Seattle. This lets the G10 mount a 72mm filter in front of the lens with no vignetting and/or, as in the case of my kit, mount a Cokin 'P' filter holder. Since I already have lots of Cokin filters including the expensive circular polariser, this turned out to be a very inexpensive way to add filters to the G10. The build quality of the kit is excellent, being made of black anodised aluminium, and the price including postage was about 1/2 what Cokin would charge for their own stuff in plastic. Even better, when it arrived today customs hadn't stung me for VAT. Yay!
