Yes
I'd like to buy a basic starter kit and I came across the Landscape Kit, Grad Blue, Grad Tobacco and a Grad ND8, all three are soft transition. I had looked at the Grad ND Kit, 2, 4 and 8 but they all seem to be Hard. SO without having to buy too many filters, is the Landscape Kit a good place to start?
 
What lenses have you got? From memory the filters sometimes don't work with wider than 28mm if the filter thread is larger than about 65-70mm without significant vignetting... Could be wrong with the specifics (it's a hazy recollection)
 
If it was still the 80's yes.

I'd suggest getting soft or medium ND grads if you want to try filters.

Basically you're paying a lot of money for a poor ND8 grad as you'll probably never use the coloured ones.

I have three lenses, all 52 mm thread. 18-55, 55-200 and a 50 mm. I read mixed reviews on Vignetting, some said it was OK with a 10 mm lens, others suffered from 18-24 mm.
Not sure if this is down to FX lenses being used on DX format!

An 85mm/P series kit will be okay for vignetting on your lenses on aps-c. You'd probably be better off buying individually really. A 2/3 stop of each (soft/hard) or something.

I found a couple of ND kits on Amazon, one had all hard edge, with the other only the ND8 had a soft edge. Not a lot of choice in the P series really for buying seperate.

hi

I'm cutting back on my film cameras and have a LOAD of Cokin Filter c/w holders for 52mm and others

I'll list them in Classifieds tomorrow. I'm hoping to off-load the LOT so you'll get a good bargain

Reckon you should be ok, but you may need to cut off the front two slots from the mount for extreme wide like the 18mm end - but I'm not a Cokin afficionado - I had a pile of Cokin A back when Adam was a lad.
