Sprocket Type Polarizers

[ben_johnson10]

Last year I purchased the Singh Ray LB Warming Polarizer to use in a P-type Cokin holder. Since then, I

have run into some situations where I would prefer not to have the warming feature that is a part of the LB

Warming Polarizer, but would just want a regular polarizer.

 

Since I enjoy the flexibility of the sprocket polarizer with the Cokin holder in that it allows me to use GNDs

when required, I was wondering if there are any manufacturers that make such a filter, just a regular

polarizer, no warming, and a sprocket type mount?

 

I checked Singh Ray, and they don't make one; are there any other good filter manufacturers out there that

make such a filter? (I haven't found any in my search.)

How about the Cokin P164 Circular Polarizer Glass Filter?

 

B&H has it for about $69.

Hmmm...I wonder about the quality of the Cokins? If their polarizer is anything like their

GNDs they would probably have a color cast to them...which is undesirable.

 

Thanks for responding, though.

Ben, you may be surprised. The Cokin polarizer is glass, not plastic or resin like the Cokin GNDs.

 

I own the huge Cokin glass circular polarizer for the Cokin X-Pro system and it is a very nice filter with a neutral color. I don't know if that quality translates to the "P" size Cokin system, but it is worth checking out.

Did you call Singh Ray or just check their website? Bob Singh has a reputation for custom-making what you ask for. Might be worth a phone call.

Ben,

 

On what combo of camera/lens are you using the Cokin-P holder ? Do you get any vignetting ?

I have a Cokin Z-Pro filter holder, but Sing Ray doesn't make sprocket type polarizers in Z-Pro size.

So I am wondering about getting a Cokin-P, but would like to know if that's advisable on my Canon 5D + Tamron SP 17-35/2.8-4 ?
