    The next big decision is which type to get once you have determined that is what you need. If you use the type with the holder vignetting should not be a problem I would think.

    I did look at the Cokin system when I got my camera's but it's a bit bulky ... certainly easier to use though. Not sure on the vignetting but I'd think it still would on a wide angle lens. Perhaps not if the filter is wide enough itself.

    The P series from Cokin has a wide angle holder. It'll only hold 1 filter at a time, but what I've been told it works without vignetting on 10mm (crop camera). Not sure what it does on full frame though...

    I have a Cokin P holder with 3 slots. So far I only have a single GND4 to put in it. I hope to get out this weekend to try it.

    Oops. Fingers started before my brain Fourtytwo. Mine is a standard holder not a wide angle.

    I had a set of ND filters and used them lots for waterfalls and ocean waves, they now reside at the bottom of Elbow Falls

    I saw some excellent info on graduated filters comparing them and such, most complain about the not so neutral colour shift of the Cokin filters, but at the price of the others I'd have to sell off my last son; he's 17 years old 6' 5" 210 lbs. really good cook, looking for reasonable offers
