A Cokin-type system is the way to go. I use a Cokin holder and Hi-Tech filters. The Singh-Ray filters are supposedly more durable but also more expensive. I just replace the Hi-Tech filters when they start to get too scratched up (they last well if given reasonable care, though). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
