Shaun,
Rotation is not the big problem for grads, scenes not split evenly are
the problem. If you ever follow the rule of thirds so that your
horizon's don't split the image dead center (generally considered a
no-no) then the grad can't be centered over the lens. That is why the
holder is so useful. It allows a rectangular filter to be slid up and
down to match the horizon as you compose.
