That all depends on what you plan to be shooting. That in itself would help any recommendations.

Cokin has a ring adapter set for the A series that is very reasonable. You can obtain a universal ring that would cover most lenses or a lens specific ring, i.e. 52mm, and then with the A series holder use the A series filters you want. You may want to search some of the camera stores online, check amazon and ebay, and see what your outlay would be. Cokin has a nice information section that explains their system at this link. I hope this helps.

IIRC the A series isn't really suitable for lenses shorter than 50mm? At least I'm pretty sure that was the advice when I last looked.

Matt,
I have seen those warnings about possible vignetting with the A series, in fact B&H has it on A series listings on their site. I am personally using the P series. Not a whole lot of difference in price, and I do not have to worry about that issue.

That is a personal preference. Again it depends on how and what you are shooting at and with. If any of your shots are wide angle, go for the P series instead.
