The Cokin Creative Filter System consists of a rectangular plastic filter holder with four slots (one for Cokin rotating filters and three for rectangular ones), a variety of optional adapter rings which click into place and rotate, and many optical resin filters.
There are two Cokin sizes, "A" & "P". The "A" series is adequate for 35mm cameras and camcorders and fits filter sizes from 36-62mm. The "P" series covers diameters from 48-82mm and is generally preferred for everything, particularly wide angle lenses. Over 100 filters and a wide range of accessories are available for each system, i.e. modular lens hoods, lens caps, and storage boxes.

Comments about Cokin "P" Series - Filter Holder, 62mm Adapter Ring and 28 Page Pamphlet:
simple ad effective, allows to use all Cokin filters. Important to buy the adapter ring corresponding to the filter size of your lens, the holder and a few filters to experiment. I bought as well a ND filter to allow long exposure with larger aperture, as well a graduated fog filter and a graduated ND filter. Very solid construction, the holder allows maximum 4 filters simultaneously, which is plenty for my usage. Haven't found that many issues with it yet, shot twice with it with pleasant results.

In comparison with the generic brand, Cokin definitely has the upper hand in quality. I use it with a t2i and must say I am very impressed.

Comments about Cokin "P" Series - Filter Holder, 62mm Adapter Ring and 28 Page Pamphlet:
I bought the P-holder along w/ some filters to save cost so when I add another lens to my existing line up I don't need to buy another sets of filters for the new lens. I like to shoot landscape and the problem w/ the P-holder is that vignetting occurs at 17 mm, which is the range I mostly use in landscape photography. I had to cut of 1 slot of the filter holder (outermost) to prevent this afterwards its ok, i don't even have to remove my screw in UV/ protective filter.

I used this in the studio with the 62 mm adapter ring and it works fine but it rotates as you focus. Not a real problem because it overlaps the lens and you never see the edges.
