My dad used to do a touch of photography when i was a nipper :) and he has just given me some old filters and id like to get some more.

the problem is its a 52mm thread that fits on my d40 which is good but the filters are square and slot into the end of the filter holder any one know what size/standard this is called so i can get some more

cheers

They could be a range of makes and sizes, do the filters have any numbers on them? such as P121 or anything :) if you get chance measure one and we might be able to help narrow it down,

Probably Cokin A or P series. You have a threaded adaptor to the size you need that mounts a plastic square holder into which you slide the filters.

Camera shops, online sellers and ebay will have what you need. A lot of the 'effects' filters are a bit redundant with digital but some (like ND plain and graduated) can be useful.
