any ND filter for tokina 11-16? should i go for cokin (or alike) series for wideangle? i saw plenty website complain on the vignetting for P series, but no idea how the wide angle series does.. or should i get a stepupring from 77mm-82mm and buy a flexi-ND filter at 82mm?

Thanks

i) i suggest to go for screw on filter. but u might still loose about 2mm of shooting angle, meaning vignet free at 13mm F8.

so anything at 11-12mm is unusable? Tian-Ya Wide Angle Square Filter and Cokin "P" BPW-400 wide angle Holder is it the same? how these two perform?

ii) the wide angle case. if u use just ND, u can turn the holder 90degree(filter fit in horizontally) to use it. If u use GND, where filter must be vertically to use, u may still have vignetting issue at 11mm. unless u go for 100mm filter holders, Lee filter or Cokin Z.

Lee filter and Cokin Z is way too expensive.. sad.gif

iii) the step up ring will make any vignetting worst (from my experience) and worst, 'flexi' (actual name is called FADER ND) is actually two CPL reversed, if u know, UWA doesnt work well with CPL.

u mean CPL wont work good on UWA? u meant uneven effect in the sky? actually im planning to get cpl for tokina11-16.

they are the same, the TianYa is copy/pirate of cokin P series. i cant really say, coz i have not used wideangle P on tokina1116, but even Lee filter will lose 1-2mm on FF.

i found on ebay one brand call fotga from china, it is more cheaper than tianya... sweat.gif, maybe i will try unsure.gif?

may i know which filter is useful if i want to save cost, ND2, ND4, ND8, GND2, GND4, GND8? or i need all 6 to be safe?

pointless to grab china filter, as their coating has color cast, u never know ur photo end up more red or pink or purple, or blue.

yup, found a few reviews, they are bad... stick back to Tianya
