Hello, I have a quick Q.

I have a Cokin P filter holder, as seen here:

and was curious if a "Cokin Series P Gradual Grey Neutral Density Filter ND8X G2 Full " is the proper fit for my holder? (as seen here: http://www.amazon.com/Cokin-Gradual-Grey-G2-Full/dp/B00009R7CE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1203480911&sr=1-2)

I am almost positive it is, but there are so many options it is foreseeable that I am making a mistake.

I am trying to get an 8 stop Graduated ND filter for my 10-20mm that arrives tomorrow as soon as possible!

Thank you so much in advance.

It is indeed the correct fit but cokin ND filters are known to leave a colour cast.

Take a look at hi-tech filters instead.

I am not sure if that's a typo. ND 8x filters aren't 8 stops, they are 3 stops. A 8 stops (G)ND filter would be around 256x.

I can never keep straight how cokin labels their filters. HiTech and other companies have much easier naming/label systems, IMO.

Yeah, that was a typo/copy error. I meant simply an ND8... and hello from from Lawrence, KS!
