Cokin Z-Pro ND Grad Filter Kit (U960) - Fast UK Mainland Delivery (http://www.morrisphoto.co.uk/ProductDetails~productID~6391~categoryid~167.html)

Can anyone tell me if the above cokin filters will cause any problems on m,y Canon 10-22mm wide angle lense?

At a guess I would say at the 10mm end you see the holder.
But what use one at all? I find it best to do this in PP

I can't speak for the Z-Pro seried but for the P series, there are 2 filter holders, one which is designed for SWA lenses and only holds one filter,

They say it vignettes below 20mm on full frane (so around 14mm on your 40d) - is there a wide angle version available?

I've used the Cokin wide angle holder on my Canon 10-22mm - and at the 10mmm end - you can just (and I mean just) see vignetting on the corners. I then crop in lightroom to get rid - or photoshop the corners to blend them back in... Of course the holder doesn't only work on wide angle lenses - it works on any - but with the restriction that it holds only one filter. Best option I think though - good for a ND grad on those bright grey sky days...

I asked the same question a few weeks ago as I wanted to use filters on my Canon 40D with Sigma 10-20 and Canon 17-85.

I went with P rather than Z though.

There was no sign of the holder on the 17-85 lens but I could just make it out on the Sigma 10-20.

I then purchased the wide angle holder and I can't see it at 10mm. You only get 1 slot in the wide angle holder rather than 3 though.

So is that to say, the filters fit between all the cokin holders so I could just buy the Z holder afterwards if needed?

Is there a particular reason you want the Z range over the P range?

Hmmm. I have the Sigma 10-20 and the wide angle P holder and I can see the holder at 10mm. It disappears at around 14mm though.

Just checked it and I don't see any sign of it at 10mm.

I have Cokin P slim holder attached to 77mm Kood ring for my 10-20
Cokin P normal holder attached to 67mm Kood ring for my 17-85

Some going cheap possibly?

Wanted to know they are ok and if the P-series is ok then the Z should be even better.

:shrug:Mine is attached via the adaptor ring that came with the holder:shrug:

I'll do a test shot tonight if I get the chance and upload. I've only used this setup once and was annoyed by it, haven't tried it since.

Perhaps the kood ring is slimmer ?

Certainly the holder doesn't show at 10mm when attached with the kood 77mm ring.
