Cokin P-series filters should do the job for the 21mm, does anyone know for
sure? I have used the A-series on my 24mm f2.8 and had no problems. I have
heard good things about Lee filters - professional, very well made and
reputed to be worth the money. I have both 1-stop and 2-stop, and use the
1-stop far more. Never noticed any colour shift, but then I haven't done any
comparison testing. Perhaps I should... my suggestion is to dig out a
cheap Cokin filter holder & grey grad 1 or 2, and if it doesn't come up to
scratch, fork out for the Lee or something of that ilk. Good luck,
Simon E.
