    Cokin"P" Filter Holder/Hitech, Singh Ray Filters

    Since the Cokin P filter holder is inexpensive (compared to Lee and Hitech), and Hitech and Singh Ray both make excellent filters to fit it, is there any good r eason not to use the Cokin holder with these other filters? Am I missing someth ing?

    yes: larger filters also more durable construction.

    I use the Cokin P holder with Singh-Ray and Tiffen filters. Camera Bellows (Lee's Bellows division) makes a self supporting bellow lens hood for the Cokin P that is very nice. As Ellis points out, the advantage of the Lee system is that it is larger, but for me, the advantage of the Cokin P is that it is smaller and lighter. Durability hasn't been a problem, and you can buy a replacement just about anywhere.

    You can also buy a self supporting bellows hood that attaches to the front of the Cokin P filter holder from a company in Great Britain, whose website is www.srbfilm.co.uk. I use that combination plus a universal mounting ring that uses three nylon screws to fit snugly against the outside of all but one of four lenses. Jim Worthington
