[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 566217, member: 10742"] Don... he said he's getting a Cokin... there are only 2 types of filters... relative to ND filters there's cheap, and there's Cokin Same with the Polarizer... If he uses a Cokin mount, there's only one choice... If he uses the Cokin system, within certain ranges, the size of the lens don't mean much because it uses a system of adapter rings to hold the single sized P mount... unless he choses the other Cokin sizes... Cokin is in process of resizing and relabeling their size differences... To the OP... The nice thing with Cokin is there are quite a few low-cost options... You can start with the lower cost knock-offs... and if they suit your style and needs... you can always up-grade to the higher cost Cokin filters... Most folks start with the lower cost filters and stay there... Both the high cost and low cost filters are made of the same material... polycarbonate... It feels a whole low better to replace a $7 low cost filter that got scratched than replacing it with a $25 filter just because of the brand etched on the side. [/QUOTE]
