COKIN "P" series filter are "4x"4". They have good neutel density filters
as well as color correction filters.

I would recommend an 85B, 81A, 81B, 81C, 81D 81EF, 80A,80B,80C and polarizers.

If you are feeling adventurous try COKIN's "VARICOLOR" filters. Phillipe Rouselot
used them on the 2001 "Planet of the Apes" remake.

I don't know of anywhere in the EU that sells them, but this place in the US ships worldwide :

Way to many filters for a basic set up.

85, ND3, ND6, ND9

Those four are your basic filters. Beyond that you are looking at using something on a special basis. You could get 85/ND combo filters but if you have two trays those filters will cover 75% of what you will shoot. Grads would be the next filter to get when you are expanding beyond the basics.

Good Luck
