| Thanks for all the input. I decided to go with the Cokin P system. Moslty because other filter makers make filters that fit the holder. And the holder was way cheaper than the other brands. I got two filters to start out with so we will see how long/well they last. Thanks for the info, I will probably be upgrading when I get the funds. D.

Great Derek, the Cokin P is a good way to start. Let us know how you find using the system.

I went out to Mitchel Lake (Indian Peaks Wilderness) on Saturday and used the new filters I got. It was very cool just to see the image through the viewfinder. I'll be posting some soon.

One exercise I do from time to time is to take a walk with just a couple of coloured filters. Hold a red or green filter in front of your eye and compose a scene. The strong filter essentially renders the scene as monochrome, showing you the tones of the scene rather than the colours. Of course, each filter will render a different range of tones, (a red filter will probably give you the strongest effect) but it is a really good exercise to teach you to see in monochrome.
