Ok, I have been looking at the Cokin system on the net. Are we talking big bucks here? Are we talking about shots with time to set-up primarily? The system seems great, not having used it. The graduated filters look like something I could use and the Cokin mount is the way to go with that. Is this system worth the investment for a photographer who can't afford the pro lenses in the first place? I do get the impression that a Cokin mount will work well with various mm size lenses. That is a plus. Just the uv filter for my 300mm was quite bit due to the 82mm size. Tom
