EF-S 10-22 + Z-Pro Holder - Vignette?

[jay a. frew]

Hello:

 

No big surprise - My Cokin P holder (which I used on my 17-40 for Grad ND)

vignettes quite badly on my new EF-S 10-22.

 

Do any of you know if the Cokin Z-Pro will vignette on that lens? I will use

Singh-Ray 4x6 ND Grads with this holder (if it doesn't vignette).

 

Cheers! Jay

My Nikon 12-24mm had that problem on a P series holder, but I was able to modify it

by cutting the furthest slot tabs off, and made it a dedicated holder. The Z & even X

series are substantially wider but Cokin recommends 15mm+ focal lengths - see

Not sure if it is of interest to you, but you can hand hold a "P" size on the 10-22 with no vignetting. I do. The holder was useless. Made me wish I had listened to others and got the larger Singh Ray filters. Money was tight. But handholding, they work great on the 10-22.

Thanks Guys:

 

I had looked at the "P" series wide angle holder on the Cokin web site (cokin.com). It will work for lenses as wide as 20mm (that's 35mm equiv). It looks like a "single-slot" P holder. So I don't think cutting the extra slot-off my P holder would do much good on the 10-22.

 

The Z-Pro is modular. The filter slots may be removed and reconfigured. It is also reversible: it can be turned around so that the filter fits into the adapter-ring slot (and the adapter ring then fits into a filter slot). This should let you go really wide without vignetting.

 

I was just wondering if anyone had a Z-Pro and could tell me how well it works before I buy one. Unlike the P series, the Z-Pro series is expensive.

Jay I have heard folks say it is fine on a 10-22mm although I have not tried it myself.
