Tip of the Day: Wide-Angle Cokin Holder

Cokin Filter system is really an excellent tool, and has the potential of offering significant savings since one filter matches several lenses. However, there are some disadvantages to using this system. For example, when using a wide-angle lens, the corners of your image will vignette at the widest end, up to approximately 30mm in 35mm Format. If you shoot digital, the same applies, only because of the APS sized sensors the issue occurs with wider lenses. Nonetheless, this is a rather annoying issue. So, if you feel the same way about it, consider switching your Cokin holder to a Wide-Angle Holder, which you could get for about 10 bucks. It allows for only one filter at a time, but hey, better than nothing, right?
