Hi folks, and first post for me.
I just received a Cokin Z-Pro filter holder and a couple of graduated ND filters. I'm puzzled.
For wide angle use, the holder can be mounted in reverse. Okay, no problem. Then the ND filter can be fitted into the holder, BUT you can't slide it all the way through.
There are little buttons on the holder that appear to be stops of some sort. The filter goes down until it hits one of these buttons, and that's it. No positioning freedom.
You can slide the buttons back and forth, out of the way in one direction (for one surface of the holder), but not in the other. With the filter holder mounted in reverse, these buttons interfere with the sliding of the graduated ND filters.
In fact these sliding buttons are a problem for the spots closest to the adapter ring on both sides of the holder. There is no problem in slots number 2 and 3, away from the adapter ring... but that's no good for the widest angle work.
I'd like to just remove these buttons, but they are captive in the holder.
So what gives??
Thanks...
