Hitech/Cokin compatibility

[Pablosammy]

I've just ordered some 67mm Hitech filters, but I'm having second thoughts, and now I'm thinking of sticking with 85mm filters.

I have a Cokin P CPL and 0.6ND already, but had written them off as I want to get a Hitech Pro Stop. My question is whether a Cokin P holder is compatible with the Hitech Pro Stop (e.g. any light leakage issues?), and vice versa, is the Cokin CPL compatible with the Hitech aluminium holder? I can't see a lip on the Hitech holder that would support the CPL like the Cokin P does.

Ideally, I'd like the current set-up:

Hitech aluminium 85mm holder (much easier to put on and off than the plastic one)
Cokin drop-in CPL
Hitech Pro Stop IRND
Hitech ND grads

Any owner feedback?

I've got the Cokin holder and picked up the Hitech Pro Stop recently. I've not had too much of a play yet but I did try it out once on holiday last week. I was a bit unsure to start with because I thought I saw a gap on the sides even though it felt tight when sliding it in. This was the result:

Looks good to me! I guess for a few quid I'll try the plastic Cokin holder, and upgrade if necessary. Seems to me to be the cheapest option!

Cheers.
