I have searched up and down on here and google and I just can't find a real answer to my current predicament. I have recently purchased a Cokin P Series holder and a few drop in filters. Now I'm lookin to expand that collection and I want to know if one brand is better than another with those filters.
1. My next filter for the system will probably be a polarizer. I know for the screw-on filters, most recommend the Multi-coated filters and I haven't seen that mentioned on the drop-in polarizers. I've seen the Cokin for ~$75 and a Singh-Ray for $210. Is the Singh-Ray that much better?
2. I'm also interested in NDs and Grads. I've read that Cokins tend to have a color cast to them. Is this true? Also, what brand is best? Or, maybe, what brand is worst?
I know that a lot of these effects can be reproduced with software but I'm not that good with the software and I'd rather have a good to great image to start with.
Thank you for all the help.
