Filter Holder for Wide Lens?

[jenic]

I have no filter holder or filters at the moment so am looking to buy one thats suitable for most len's.

Looking for one suitable for a wide lens (16mm in 35mm format)

So far this is all I have found:

http://www.warehouseexpress.com/buy-cokin-b100-x-pro-series-filter-holder/p1000957

But not limited to any brand so any other recommendation welcomed

I've ended up using the z-pro, as it's the only thing close to being wide enough to use with the 10-20. Even with that, if I'm down to 12-13 I'm starting to see the frame in the corners of the picture.

If you've not seen them yet, Kood do cheaper filters that fit the Cokin holders too.

Z-pro is 20mm+, X-pro is 15mm+.

So the X should be better that the Z. I'd like to know of any alternatives, i cant help but to think your paying for a brand, and £50 for a bit of plastic

Ah, I might have bought the wrong one then!

I'm not sure of much else available, do Lee do holders? Saying that they'll probably be even more!

My thinking was that as I've a few lenses with different filter sizes I'll actually save money in the long run by using the cokin.

I'm wanting a filter holder, for square filters.

I'm loving mine Mike, Definately worth playing with!

Just need to clean it...

I want to move on from the screw-in filters.

Will this get me started?

Lee would be more than a starting point, it should be an excellent system. Check the price of the filters you want first as there aren't any included with that bundle. Alternatively you can go down the Lee holder - Hi-tech filter route.

 

[Tigger]

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting the "decent" ones now though so might as well start with the Lee holder and a few Hitec filters - or am I going the wrong way altogether? lol

 

[Tigger]

Pulled myself out of "impulse-buying" a few £00's worth of filters until I work out what's best to start off with. Anyhow, I need 2 tyres

Man up and go Lee holder and start with the Cokin filters then move up to the Lee stuff? The holders pretty much the same price anyway, thats a lie. Lee stuffs about 20 quid more.

I want a 10 stopper and a 2 stop hard grad so bad
