10-22 and cokin setup

G'day guys.

I recently purchased a Hoya CP for my 10-22 but am now starting to think maybe a cokin setup would better suit my needs because I really like the look of the ND grad setup.

I would just like to lend your thoughts on the setup and I ask the following questions:

Is a cokin system worth it? Or should I look at investing in some screw on filters?
Will the Cokin CP vignette in the 10-12mm range like some CP screw ons.

Anything else I might of missed fire away!

Thanks in advanced

I've got a 10-22 and a Cokin set up and I find that the holder causes vignetting at anything below about 15 or 16mm. I find the system pretty good though but you do have to work around the vignetting.

I've got a ND4 Grad, an ND2 Grad and a Warm up (can't remember the number off the top of my head)

The Cokin 85P (single slot) wide angle adapter will work down to 10mm on the 350D but for some odd reason I have to zoom up to 11mm with my 30D. Forget stacking filters at 10mm unless you go with their more expensive Z-Pro setup.

My Hoya Pro1 Digital Circular Polarizer gives excellent results on the wide end.

So the z-pro will work with the 10-22 with stacked filters? That's very handy to know, as i'm just waiting for my new lens at the moment.

I haven't seen it first hand but have seen web postings of users doing it _ being a lot larger filter I don't really see why it wouldn't.

Ahh thanks for the replies guys

What exactly is the wide angle adapter? Expensive?

alex, i can't say exactly what the wide angle adapter is, but from what i've read it allows you to use UWA lenses in your case the 10-22 (or a 16-35 on FF) without causing vignetting.

Here's a sample price

The wide angle adapter is an 85P single slot holder and costs less than $20 in the US.

Do you have any 10mm shots with it attached wide open??

This would be greatly appreciated.

interesting

Bluedog if you could post any shots that would be fantastic.

For UWA glass, the bigger Z series set up is very expensive.

Here's some images to ponder. For the price of the 85P setup vs the Costly Z-Pro _ I'll just use the Clone Stamp tool on any 10mm shots.

Canon EOS 30D

Thanks Bluedog. I have the 350D so the 85P might well be the best option for me...
