Thanks bro daredevil123, catchlights and mogwai. Very informative post. Will go to Cathay sometime during the next week to look for the filters.
Also, may I know if I am using a 77mm diameter lens, should i go for the 82mm filter holder? The 77mm diameter lens is an ultra wide angle 10-22mm so at the widest angle, will the filter holder block out part of the image?
Based on his/her description, I think it's an EF-S lens and definitely a 1.6x crop body.
Anyway would it help if we were to get a UWA filter holder instead of the normal one?

Have to get the single slot wide angle holder for P series. No choice. If get the 3 filter holder, it will 100% vignette with the 10-22. And when I said it vignettes with the Tokina 11-16 on Nikon DX, I am referring to the single slot wide angle holder.
Noted. That's a little disappointing. Thought there might be something that's really cheap and good.![]()

The only way is to go for 100mm filter holders, and they are all in the $90-120 range excluding the adapter ring. No choice. With a few filters plus a 10-stop filter, you total cost of ownership will be around $500 for a good starting set.
DD, what's the best filter holder to get for a Lee Big Stopper? Their foundation kit seems to be sold out most of the time. I'm thinking of getting a Cokin Z or Hitech holder. Care to share which is cheaper/better?![]()

Big stopper will work best on the Lee foundation Kit because the big stopper comes with foam to prevent light leakage.
I think china copies of the Cokin Z filter holder is available, but from what I have seen, it is quite crappy.
I think there is a also a rumor going around that there is a China version of the Lee foundation kit as well, and that it is very very well made, almost like the real thing, but around 25% cheaper than the real LEE but their adapter ring is really cheap, around 1/3 of the price.
Too bad TK and Cathay are currently out of stock for the Lee foundation kit. I recently got a Big Stopper from a friend but I don't have a 100mm holder. Guess I can't use this baby just yet.

Hi all,
Anyone knows of a good shop to purchase Cokin filters? Need a filter holder as well as a 77mm adaptor and ND4 and ND8 filters.
Thanks!
