Looking for some decent filters for my new lens but I am aware things like the cokin P series will show on the lens at its widest settings. I know a few people have wideangle lens's, so what do you use?
 
Depends what you want to shoot but in general for the wider end look for the slim filters

As far as what I use, I've got the following that I can use with my 10-22:

77mm Hoya Super HMC Pro1 UV (rarely used, only put it on if there's a lot of dust flying about e.g. rally)
77mm Hoya R72 Infrared filter
77mm B+W Slim MRC Circular Polarizer
77mm B+W 10stop ND

Lee Foundation Kit
77mm wide angle adaptor ring
Lee 105mm P Ring
Heliopan 105mm Slim Circular Polarizer
Lee ND Grads: 0.6 soft, 0.6 hard, 0.9 soft and 0.9 hard
 
I have a Sigma 10-20, cokin do a special wide angle holder which i've had no problems with it showing at the widest settings, the only downfall is it only holds 1 filter as opposed to the standard which holds three. The cokin pro series does hold three filters and is designed with ultra wide in mind but costs somewhere in the region of £100 or so for the holder :O

I heard there was still some show with the wide cokin P holders at lengths under 14 so I had ruled it out... but what you say might require more investigation thanks :)

Also iGi the Lee's are up there on my list of possibles...... just a bit more pricey.
 
Yeah it's like just about everything else associated with this damn hobby :D

You're buying into a system and more often than not it's a case of 'nice price = buy twice' :D

To put things into context I bought a used car last week and it didn't cost much more than that pile of filters and accessories :D

But to start things off, you can always replicate the effect of ND grads in photoshop to a certain extent, but it cannot replicate the effect of a polarizer filter.

This is probably what I'd start off with if you're on a budget: If you're all set on buying ND grads in the future, buy the polarizer and adaptor ring that will accompany the ND grads now so that you're not stuck with an incompatible CPL when you are ready to buy ND grads.

Both at 10mm

that's with an ND Grad on a cokin P holder, i have a couple of other samples if you wish too.
 
It's ok, can't say I've had any issues but I tend to use the 17-40 with the R72 more often.
