Cokin A or P

Hi all

I'm thinking of getting some Cokin filters for my DL2 with 18-55 kit lens. What series is best A or P and why.

P

Because A only covers filter diameters up to around 67mm (I forget the exact size), and as soon as you have invested in a set of A filters, you will buy a lens with a larger filter diameter. It is called Cokin's Law, and it never fails.

With a Pentax DSLR, you are very unlikely to buy a lens that the P series can't handle.

The quality of both is the same (I believe).

Definitely P series, with the 18-55mm kit lens, you will probably notice vignetting with the A series at the wider angles.

I have the P series filters and they are fine at the wider angles.

I have a bunch of P filters I was thinking of putting on eBay at some point.

80 : Incolor 1
027 : + 1/3 Warm (81B)
057 : Star 4
020 : +2 Blue (80A)
083 : Diffuser 1
084 : Diffuser 2

All in original cases and unscratched. There might be the odd fingerprint, but that's about it.

PM if interested.

Is there much difference between Cokin and Kood filters as i've seen a lot of Kood for sale on E-Bay.
