Slot-in filters...what to buy for an essential filter setup?

[ettk75]

Hi all, need your good advice about filters.
1) Can a Cokin P series filter holder be fix onto a 52mm lens? Is it too big for it?
2) What is the basics slot-in filters type which will be suffice for I.e.shooting sunrise/ sunset or other basic situations? ND or ND grad more useful?

Hope to hear from the more experience u.

Thanks....

1) For the P filter holder to work, you will need to purchase an adaptor ring that is similar to your lens. In this case, a 52mm adaptor ring will do. You can purchase tianya equivalent which is cheaper and works the same way

2) Both ND and GND is useful. GND will be more useful to taking sunsets/sunrise. ND will be useful for long exposure. Coloured filters are useful if you know what you are doing, else both ND and GND are suffice for the moment.
