DD take a look on eBay there's a company that sells the hitech filter kit I got a full set of nd and a set of soft nd grads and 3 adaptors for around 100 pound and they quite often have sales on
Only thing I wished is that I went for the 100mm ones not the 85mm which are the same size as Colin ones as with a 72mm filter ring if I go to the zoom end of my lens you get a dark vinergette around the edge
I'm on my phone at the mo when I get chance I let you have the name of company and a 10% voucher
Code for them it wont be untill tomorrow night

Hi Chris (Have you ever thought that there's too many Chris' on this forum?),
As I said, you can buy genuine Cokin adaptors for £9 each, or spend a lot more on Lee's etc. or you can go on eBay and pick them up by the bucketful for pennies. They are just adapters and will not affect the quality of your pictures one scrap. All mine are cheap Chinese makes and cost about £1.50 each - Local postage, delivery in a few days.

Hi Wotcars,
I have this problem at super-wide, but you can reduce the effect with a wide-angle holder (only two slots). I cut one down to 1 slot (bit of a messy job) and can now go to 11mm before I get any vignetting at all.

I use a site called top cash back when i internet shop. They pay cashback in either cash or amazon vouchers. You get more with amazon vouchers so i chose them. It means i need to buy from amazon so ebay is out of the question for the filter kit. I will use ebay for the adaptors however.

Hi Chris,
Go to 'Photography' in eBay and search for 'Cokin P'. There's 1,000s of items there, like this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/49mm-82mm-...ht_2183wt_1396
This will give you every adaptor you will ever need + a spare holder. Bargain.
