I did the opposite, bought the mount and adaptor but no filters. Might head up to Dublin early on Friday and see what I can get.

Its like the setup for some lame gag

I picture you both standing back to back, Mele clutching his filters ... Ken shaking his filterless adaptors futilely in the air :rolleyes:

Sorry to rain on your parade here folks but the best place I can think of for the Cokin filters is the dustbin.

They are GREY filters rather than ND filters so there is a terrible purple tinge across the image when you use them. It gets worse the more filters you use or how bright the light is.
Not so bad using the ND's as you can adjust the WB after to rectify it somewhat but the ND Grads are chronic altogether as only half the image is affected, see pic below. I'd recommend getting youself Lee's if you can afford them. I believe they make a version that will fit the Cokin adaptors as well.

To answer your question OP, I have seen them in Pixels off Grafton street.

Well it don't matter then

I would imagine you would be able to get the mounts in Conns as well but I've definitely seen them in Pixels.

excellent, prices?

kensutz · 31-12-2008 4:22pm

Wouldn't say they'll be ideal prices.

Ballyman · 31-12-2008 4:34pm

As a guide, check whatever the price is on ebay and then double it!

I have a spare one if you want, I think it's a 62mm mounting ring. I also have the plastic filter holder if that's what you need.

Seeing as you borrow everything else...
