Default Filters - what to buy?
Curious for advice from those more experienced than I on what filters to buy?
From everything I have read, I am leaning towards a Cokin system to be able to be more flexible, but what are the other thoughts out there?
Add advice is welcome.
Please provide pros and cons if you can please? Just looking to get my research done and my thoughts in order.
thanks
rob

I finally just started on the Cokin system and love it. I have a ND and a graduated ND filter (the main reason I wanted it was for the grad ND). I'm slowly working on getting the filter adapters for all my other lenses now.

I second the Cokin system. The only filter you can't get with the slide in filters is a circular polarizer. I have 8 or so slide in filters and an adjustable lens adapter for the different lens sizes I have. Works great.
