Cokin Filters

I took delivery of a nice set of Cokin filters and accessories yesterday:

All Z Pro

• Z121L Grad ND2
• Z121M Grad ND4
• Z153 ND4
• Z154 ND8
• filter holder and 77mm adapter ring.

Today I got out into the local countryside and had the chance to try them out.

I wondered how wide I could go before the monster on the front of my lens got in the way. At 17mm with the filter in the slot nearest the lens here's the result (with Grad ND4). I will need to try experimenting, for example having the holder reversed to reduce its forward projection to see if I can shoot unhindered at 17mm.

A slight crop and the shot is looking much better.
