Starter Kit Cokin

Cokin Filters A & P series is one replacing the other?

I have a Fuji S9600 and was recently given a Cokin A series filter holder and some filters which I have enjoyed using. I put a ND2 Graduated filter on my birthday list and when Hubby went out to get it today the helpful person in the camera shop said that Cokin A series is no longer being produced and offered him a P series starter kit instead.

Makes perfect sense. To my knowledge, Cokin is not discontinuing the A series (amateur). The A series is ideal for smaller digital cameras. For SLR and DSLR, you want to get either the P series (professional) or X-Pro series (if using really wide angles on a full frame body.)

As you mentioned, the A series is designed for focal lengths of 35mm or greater, so a P series filter is probably better for your camera.

Yes there is an adapter for P to A. It is Cokin P249.

Carmen: For a filter like a graduated/split neutral density filter, a Cokin or Singh-Ray filter is the way to go. These are also high quality filters.
