I cannot afford Lee filters lah. :ashamed:

I am using Tian Ya ones, which are pretty cheap. You can check out the PPCP website or do a search on Cokin. Tian Ya is an OEM of the Cokin ones, but quality still pretty good. CP is selling the Cokin ones but slightly more expensive. But be careful when you buy cos there are 2 sizes. The older A series is smaller and wouldn't be able to fit your lens filter size of 72/77mm & above. You have to use the P series for thos eand I heard that there is a Wide Angle series for bigger filter thread sized lenses.

Hope these helps. :D

oh :mymistake:

yup get the P series... size is the same if get this series, the bigger ones are Z series...

bro galdor mentioned the wide angle ones... which is actually the filter holder... one is the normal kind ones which u can slot in 3 sq filters(mayb ND, GND) or 1 Cokin CPL + 2 more sq filters... the wide angle one can only slot 1 sq filter or 1 Cokin CPL

been using these and its value for money as i dun need to keep buying different thread sizes, even thou u can use step up rings, these kinds are way easier to mount... some will argue tat quality will be an issue as its made of plastic... well anything u put in front of ur lens will result in some quality lost... more expensive ones do reduce tis lost... but so far i dun really notice it...

my 2 cents

the holder is fixed... u need to get the adapter ring depending on ur lens thread size...
the P series can be mounted to a 82mm lens...

assuming u have a 67mm lens thread, u can either get a 67mm adapter ring or if u also have a 77mm lens and a 67mm lens, u can get a 77mm adapter ring and use a step up ring for the 67mm lens to use the adapter ring.... hope i dun confuse u :wacko:
