Third Party Manufacturers / Cokin ZPro vs Xpro

« on: September 25, 2012, 07:55:14 PM »

i just purchased a ZPro with a 82 mm adapter ring for my 16-35 mm and so far been happy with the way it fits except the vignetting at 16-20 mm.. I am thinking of returning it and get a XPro filter kit. seems crazy expensive to get the adapter and filters but question is will the XPro universal adapter ring fit any lens ?

also will the 100 * 100 filters fit the adapter ring for ZPro ?

how do you like this filter kit against the Lee filter kits ? issue is availability of Lee and hence the reason why i m looking at Cokin..

Please share any information if you have used these kits before..

TIA

i have the 5dMarkIII with the EOS utility which kept crashing, i opened a support case with canon with no response. My CF card reader was on it way so eventually i dont have any problems reading it directly in Finder or Bridge...this all was working fine until i upgraded to ML

Lenses / Lee filters

I am looking for a ND filter kit for my 16-35 mm lens. 82 mm filter size. Will the 82 mm filter adapter ring, a 104 mm holder and 4x4 size filter work in this setup? i cant seem to find enough stock of these 82 mm Lee filter kit anywhere...few places like amazon seem to carry them...any insight will be much helpful..

Thanks gentlemen, it doesnt matter any more. My Lexar USB3.0 CF card reader arrived...now i can read it directly in Bridge after updating to Camera raw 6.7 .....

i hate how Adobe has stopped supporting these new raw files in LR3. A way to push down LR4 down our throats..

Not my favorite tool to download pics to my mac but kinda bootlegged with a memory card reader for my LExar 1000x 32gb CF card is on its way....i m connecting the camera to my mac to download pics and EOS Utility seem to be the only way to do it at the moment as My LR3 program wont recognize the new raw files. (Although photoshop does).

To add to the pain updated Lion to MLion and EOS Utility crashes. Any one facing this issue ?

Do you guys use a UV filter on your macro lenses ? other than just for protection of the lens surface itself..

i d totally get the 16-35 mm f2.8 L
totally awesome lens
you are lacking the focal length in that range...the 8-15 is nice but i really don't like the vignetting at 8-14 mm....

EOS Bodies / 5dmkIII and warranty

Do you all who owns the full frame bodies buy extended warranties with your purchase ? Is it worth the 109$ on extending warranty by 3 years....
