If you purchase a smaller size filter and later you purchase a larger lens you will need to re-purchase larger filters to use with your new equipment. The cost difference in minimal and to then re-purchase would be a complete waste of your money. The Pro Filters allow for a larger lens and offer more variables for larger formats such as a medium format camera. For most DSLR the standard or Pro-Z holder system work just fine. I would recommend you use a set of neutral density filters and a set of graduated neutral density filters. If you have a classified camera section in your area, check to see if anyone is selling a used set??? You might find a deal out there. I used Cokin for quite a while and they worked great. I had a buddy sell me a full set of Lee filters and they are very nice, but I would still be using Cokin if that deal had not come along.

I wanted to ask for your advice regarding the Cokin filters. I have bought two Canon lenses (the 17-40 mm f/4L and the 70-200 mm f/4L IS), and am currently considering the adquisition of the aforementioned filters. However, I am confused about what is the right series? P? Z-Pro? The reason why am not sure has to do with the vignetting that may be observed when the wrong filter holder is used with a wide-angle lens (something I saw frequently when using my A-series filters in my old Pentax MZ-50 camera). Thanks in advance for your help. Hi. I wanted to ask for your advice regarding the Cokin filters.
