cokin/kood filter systems?
I think I would buy a good quality circular polariser for your largest lens, and then step up rings to enable you to use it with other lenses in your collection. If you wish to use ND Grads, then the P series filters are better. My HiTech wide angle holder for P series filters can hold up to thr...

cokin/kood filter systems?
Yes - they are built to the same standard size so they should fit in any P series holder. Cheers, Jon

cokin/kood filter systems?
You need to check the actual size of the filters... I believe hi-tech are 85mm, so might fit slightly snugly. Cokin-P filters are compatible though. Kood filters themselves don't have a bad rep. It depends whether you are looking for top quality or 'good enough'!

cokin/kood filter systems?
I use the Cokin-P system (GND and ND), with two holders, a regular and wide angle (for the 10-20). As mentioned the regular holder can hold more than one filter, whilst the wide angle only the one. If you choose this path then you can save some money by buying third party holders and lens adap...

OK not a problem yet - but it may well be soon Now I love my little 40mmLtd and have got a Hoya CPL for it . This is indeed a 30.5 filter which is screwed into the hood - can do that - a wee bit fiddly thanks to my hands but it's possible. Now for the problem - I understood that with a CPL ...

Not knowing the setup I may be totally out of line here. Do you not just rotate the hood so that the movable part of the filter goes with it.

I think I might be inclined to remove the hood and fit a 49mm filter plus a standard lenshood.

John the Pentax book said to get a 30.5 and fit it behind the hood That means you have camera - lens - cpl filter - hood, in that order. Which again means that if you turn the hood, you will also turn the cpl.

Stefan, I imagined that the filter has internal threads corresponding to the lens threads, and so the filter would turn with the hood. But I may be totally wrong, of course. "Behind the hood" I read as between the lens and the hood.

Ken, In that case TT would be better off with a 49 mm filter, wouldn't she?

Terry, you are quite correct but since these things are relatively expensive, I'm thinking of a way to utilise what she has. I have to say that it is a something of a mystery to me that something as simple as a filter can cost more than a something as complex as a zoom lens (18-55 DA)

I imagined that the filter has internal threads corresponding to the lens threads, and so the filter would turn with the hood. But I may be totally wrong, of course. The lens hood has two threads. One for fitting the hood onto the lens, that's 49mm and one at the opening of the lens hood that's 30,...

Ken, In that case TT would be better off with a 49 mm filter, wouldn't she? Yes I actually think so too because quite a lot off pentax lenses use 49mm thread so it's never a waste to have one if you use Pentax.

which is why so many seem to use 49mm ones without the hood. Not only for that but the 49mm is the most used filter thread for Pentax, roughly 1/3th of the lenses use it if not more. Also all the DA limited use 49mm so if you get a the set complete you only need one filter for them all.

HOYA pro 1 digital filters MC UV(0)
Some of the more recent Hoya filters are only retained by a springy metal ring. Dropping a filter onto a carpet would be enough to make it flick out.
