Filter set up

    Thinking of buying some square filters like the Cokin P series or the cheapo Kood version. I need circ. pol. and some ND filters, and maybe a grad nd for my landscape work. Does anyone have any experience with either of these makes of filter.

    I am particularily worried about their compatability with my super wide sigma 10-20mm which is the lens I am most likely to use with filters. I want to avoid vignetting. I know this wide angle holder exists but again I have no experience with these systems.
    Any advice welcomed, please :)

    NB. Money is an issue so I can't go spending hundreds on lee filters, unfortunately! :(

    have cokin P's and have used them on my 10-20 with the standard filter holder. I usually zoom up to about 12/14mm and it's not noticable. Just use solid and grad ND filters. Looked into getting a circular polariser for the P system but it was quite pricey so couldnt justify it at the time.

    The WA holder is just the same as the normal holder with one of the filter holder slots cut off. It'll hold one filter, the normal holder will hold 2 (3?) filters.
    Best bet might be to get the normal holder and if you find its vignetting then just hack off the excess :-) You might not have a problem, the holder is pretty large.
