No, I don't and I know very many french photographers and
amateurs who use
the french COKIN filters.

HAMA distributet for long years HOYA Filters in Germany and
made up his
own assembling line, with filters from Japan and own
metallic settings B + W
may have the better reputation in Germany, but HAMA filters
are widely
common with amateurs.
> I like the flexibility the Cokin system provides... You
know, the only thing to be worried about is the correct
adapter, which is cheaper than any filter... It is pretty
important, as I have lenses of various diameters: 49 mm to
58 mm... So, are the Cokin filters really so much crap?
No, not at all all: We use original PENTAX filters, some few
of B + W and
many many HAMA filters for technical purposes
(Color-conversation,
polarization and so on. For effects we like HAMA
(*Trickfilter* für
*Verfremdung*) and the COKIN Filtersystem as well.
