Unfortunately, the Z-Pro is more prone to vignetting and has a problem when using tall filters (4x5 and 4x6) in the very first (closest) slot due to the holder's mounting pins...depending on the situation, it could be difficult to adjust the gradient right where you need it because the pins can block the filter's travel. Unless Cokin has altered their design a bit within the past few years, I had this problem with mine and switched to the Lee several years ago.

I put the filter ring in the first slot (of three) on the filter side, and remove the slot on the back. I also sanded down those pegs so you don't have any issues. But I dropped and broke mine and went with a Lee (they were in stock) holder and LOVE it, so much better. Yep...no modifications required to avoid vignetting, even with all three slots in place. Problem with the Z-Pro workarounds is that they may resolve the vignetting issue, but at the same time you're effectively reducing the number of slots that are available.

But I will say, since adding my third slot to me Lee I haven't come up with a shot where I've actually needed it! My Gear List
