Re: Guidance needed on filter holder / filters
For along time I used a Lee holder with a 95 adapter ring. It causes vignetting on wide angle lens
Now I switched to NiSi V6 Pro with a 95mm adapter ring. Can not be happier about it
I also use a 95mm polarizer together with it. Lens --> Step Rings to get to 95mm --> Polarizer --> Nisi V6
The 100mm filters are from Lee, Tiffen and others , all fit into NiSi nicely.
I removed divider between slots #2 and #3 in the V6 and now can use either up to three filters up to 2mm thick each or one of 2 mm thick filters and one of 4mm thick filters (like Tiffen Black Pro mist), or one 4mm thick filter

Interesting. Little pricier than the Cokin but looks like a clean kit. B&H also has it on sale. Thanks for the input.

Re: Guidance needed on filter holder / filters
I use screw in filters as I have a lot from my 35mm ans MF cameras (4x5 came last for me). but when my local camera store was open back in 2015, they had a used cokin system with 4 filters. all were in fair condition, so I got the filters, 2 holders and 7 step up rings for $5. figured why not. I bought new filters, not cokin, and use the holder. works great. I only use it for GND filters as I still prefer screw in filters for my others filters, B&W and 81 series. never understood how to use a round GND filter. I assume its just 1 straight line point and you can rotate it depending on how you want it set. but the rectangular/square filter seems much more logical.

Thanks John. After reading these responses and doing some additional research, I found the compendium hood for my TOYO VX125 and was able to find then find a toyo filter holder set on ebay in japan. This should allow me to use one set of square/rectangle filters with all my current lenses - even the one with the damaged filter thread. Hoping so anyways. It's supposed to arrive this weekend.

Re: Guidance needed on filter holder / filters
SergeyT can you elaborate why you prefer the NiSi V6 and which model you have?
Thanks.
