Maxdave Goldmember  More info | Having bought this exact stuff, I would say, that surprisingly, the weakest links are the holder/adaptor rings ... I bought several of each, but they are all suspect, difficult to put the holders on the rings. I would like to buy an example of the real thing and then try the filters themselves (1, 2 and 3 stop graduated and solid ND), because they seem fine. 5D3,1D4,S90,6S&Moment Lenses,Hero4Silver,GPS-E2,2x580EX,430EX,90EX,EF16-35L f/4 IS,Samy SYTS24-C 24TS,EF24-105L IS,EF50 f/1.4,EF70-200 f/4L IS,EF300 f/4L IS,EF100-400L I IS,Kenko DGX 1.4X,Canon 2X TC Mk II, RRS&Pro-Media L-Brackets,Manfrotto MHXPRO-3WG & Roller 50,Sirui 306&K-20,Giottos MT-7371&MH-3300,Velbon ElCarmagne 530,CamRanger,Phottix&Canon Remotes,Lowepro Backpack,ThinkTank Retro 20&Modular System,OpTech straps,Lexar/San Disk Cards

It might work ok with only the Cokin filters, but with the Hitechs he bought as well it just wont work. Spend the extra money on a Lee or some other system. 7D - 100-400 L, Sigma 28, Sigma 17-70 2.8-4
