I have a tokina 11-16mm too. I use it with a slim Cokin P holder with GND filter. Yes it does have some slight vignetting at 11mm, but is totally usable at 12mm.

For GND, the best filter for me is the 3 stop GND.

For just ND filter, http://breakthrough.photography/nd-buying-guide/

I think the newer cokin filter shouldn't have the color cast anymore. I bought mine at adorama

Only use the slim version (single slot) for Tokina 11-16, the normal version is not usable. Also i never use 2 filter together, so the single slot is enough.


Z series is bigger and won't have issue on 11mm.. but means the filter is also more expensive.

But if you ask me now, I will recommend HiTech filter over Cokin. The quality is better. Cokin is more plasticky. Hitech is also cheaper than Lee or Singh Ray.

You can have a look at my Europe pics https://www.flickr.com/photos/65315244@N04/...157636751453605

Most are taken with the Cokin GND, a few with direct sunlight are taken with a Hitech RGND. All no special color treatment, just some vibrance and saturation

Cokin is a very good beginner kit if price is your concern

I bought at US adorama/bhphoto, I forgot which one. Delivered to US address.

Yeah locally, Hitech should be quite hard to find. Cokin is a good choice. Buy it and let us know whether it got color cast or not
