I have got my hands on a Nikon 28mm AI-S lens (again!) with a view to using it as my 'landscape/scenery' lens on a D700. This lens has a 52mm filter thread btw. Being new to filters/holders I have been reading up on the different options but wanted to make sure I've got it right...all suggestions/help appreciated.
I'm looking at getting a Cokin P holder with a 52mm adapter ring - is this right so far? There are two Cokin P holders available as far as I can make out, the P400 and P400A (wide-angle); which one do I need?
I'm then looking at getting a selection of ND and GND filters to fit in the holder...typically 0.3/0.6/0.9 in both (maybe a 10-stopper if I'm feeling adventurous). I've read to stay clear of Cokin for various reasons....I'm looking for advice on the filters (what to go for, where to buy, etc).
I'm going on hols at the end of the week so needs to be available to buy pretty sharpish!
Many thanks,
Steve
