Hi,

I'm wanting to use the filters I usually use with my film SLR with a
digital compact to experiment before I take the film photo. Does anyone
know if there any filter holders for Cokin P filters that work with
compacts?

Regards,

Stuart

Cokin made a special series of filters for compacts in the past, maybe they
still do.
These holders will NOT fit P series filters, but have their own (smaller)
filters with the same properties (and a more limited set).
The holder didn't fit all cameras either, unsurprising as there are too many
different designs out there.

Make sure you take the white balance off "Auto" or it could do a decent job
of neutralising your filters, (depending on what sort of filters <g>).

Wow! Does that filter make the prints instant?
