There are three parts. Part one is the lens adapter, this is a metal ring that screws into the front of the lens. If you have lenses with different filter sizes, then you will want different sized lens adapters (or just get the biggest size and a step-up ring).Have to put this here as I cannot seem to find how to start my own thread?? Anyway, I am going to start using COKIN, filters where needed, as in GND. Question is, will ONE holder do for 77 to 52 filters? Or, must I get a holder for each lens?
The second part is the filter holder. The filter holder attaches to the lens adapter, and it will attach to any size lens adapter (as long as it's the same 'A, P or X' size).
The third part is the filter itself, which slides into the filter holder.
I would assume that you can buy them in kits, but I'm not sure. I'd recommend checking out some used camera stores or E-bay etc. Filters are much less popular now, than they were when film was king.
