Quick query about filters.

[rob.e]

Hi guys,

I'm just about to order a filter and filter holder and just wanted to check I've got this right and I'm not ordering the wrong parts. It's to go on the canon 10-22mm with a filter size of 77mm.

I'm planning to get a Cokin P Series Grey Graduated Filter - The grad grey g2 medium ND4. This is 2 stops I believe and would be suitable for shooting landscapes if I'm not mistaken?

Presumably I also need a filter holder - such as this.

Will I also need an adapter ring to connect between the lens and filter holder - one of these?

As I've found the two on ebay for a lot cheaper - here.

Would I be ok if I just bought the ebay link and the graduated filter? Does anyone have a similar setup they could take a couple of photos of? Also these links are just to the first site I found on Google, so if anyon has any recommendations for photographic companies which sell these parts at a good price then I'm all ears!

Thanks for your help much appreciated Sorry if this has been answered before but my search skills aren't turning up much

That looks right yes, try LoobyLin on eBay though, UK based and just as cheap as HK.

yep thats right, ive had a p series set up for quite a while now.

ive just bought a cokin, nd4 grad , and ordered a 77mm adapter for my 10-20 too.

i have a ring for a 67mm too, so instead of keep swapping them about i bought another adapter and holder for the 77mm, coming from HK for just £5.50

Unfortunately the item in the link is not the correct holder for your 10-22. This is the regular Cokin P holder and will vignette seriously even at the long end of your zoom range.

The one you need is this http://www.hiltonphoto.co.uk/products/details/24803.html wide angle holder.

Hope I wasn't too late.

damn!, maybe its "adjustable" with a few sharp tools from the shed?

I've just realised that my experience is based on using a 24mm on a 5D. A crop body may well go lower but down to 10mm is probably still pushing it a little.

You're right m8, when I bought a holder for my 10-22 I had to cut it down to hold just one filter.

Hi thank for the replies. And thanks Bob, nope not too late, I've not ordered them yet. Thanks for that, I managed to miss the fact that it was only down to 28mm. The 10mm on a crop is 16mm effectively so should I expect a bit of vignetting at the wide end even with the wideangle holder?

yes you will, my 18mm on my d80 vignetted quite a bit

yes you will, my 18mm on my d80 vignetted quite a bit

Do you have any examples of this? Is that 18mm effectively, or the focal length of the lens (Assuming the D80 has a crop factor, im not too familiar with the Nikon range)

If you a looking to get a set of these look at 7dayshop, they are the cheapest I have found and you can pick up the wide angle holder there for £6.

with a quick search i came across this.

this was taken at 18mm , the d80 has a 1.5x crop factor.

p series mounth and kood circular polariser attached.

not a great photo but it shows the vignetting none the less
