Filter questions

Thinking about buying Cokin P filter system. NDs and polarizer for my D300 and D5200. I do a lot of landscape/seascape. Anyone have any experience with this system? I have lenses with 52mm,55mm, and 77mm filter sizes.

I just got a P adapter and a B/Y #173 Pola filter. Planning to add a starburst and a couple of gradual ND to fill out the set. Have a separate adjustable ND for overall exposure control (Singh). Investigated the Cokin before purchase, and have been very satisfied w/ it. Works well w/ my 77 mm lenses.

There are alot of these filter systems out there used, since digital, and post processing, I have gotten mine for next to nothing! They are fun to play and experiment with. Have fun.

Caution....cheap filters mean cheap glass! Why put a $30.00 filter on a %1000.00 lens? You get what you pay for. I had a "cheap," $40.00 filter on my canon 70-200mmL f2.8 lens, wasn't happy with it. Bought a $100.00+ B&W filter, made a world of difference. I truly believe filters are cheap for a reason!

I only put LEE filters in front of my lenses. The polarizer was $300 but it is still tack sharp in front of my $2500 Canon 70-200mm L IS USM. Remember, you get what you pay for!

I would also advise to buy Lee instead of Cokin.
Cokin have a colour cast.
P is not big enough for wide angle 77mm. You need Z.
