What is the difference between the Cokin P, and the Cokin Z series. I have a cropped and a full frame camera. With lenses from 52mm-82 mm.

P series is smaller and will only work if you plan to use your cropped camera. If you plan to use a full frame camera with a wide angle lens, you will need the Z-Pro - otherwise, you will have vignetting. I went through the same analysis recently. Unfortunately the Z and X series (which is larger than Z) are considerably more expensive - especially if you want to get a circular polarizer. Hope this helps.

Cokin series P will be fine for you with those lenses. Go to their site and do some research: http://www.cokin-filters.com

Came into my mind after I wrote my first comment: I think 85 mm is maybe a bit long for a crop camera, at least for Portrait, it equals about 135 mm on a full frame body. I have the 7D, too, and with this camera I prefer the EF 50mm/1.4 for portrait. It does not provide the perfect bokeh of the 85/1.2 but delivers nice results with the 7D.

if you go directly to the cokin site you can look at each of their filter holders and the size recommended depends on the size of the lens. So a 50 mm lens will be one size and a 77 mm another. You need to buy the Adaptor ring specific to your lens as well so the holder can be secured onto the camera. That is generally a separate purchase. The A series is 36 to 62 mm; P is 48- 82; Z is 49-96, etc.Here is a very helpful site:http://www.cokin-filters.com/creative/rings/

I just love how people keep mentioning conversion factor of lenses for full-frame vs crop sensor to beginners, when most beginners have probably never used a full-frame camera.

Are you talking about comparison between 7 and 8? Or the newest models like the 50s or 90?I have the 8 and I just bought my friend the 50s, and it's soooo much smaller and sleeker.. but the zoom lens protrudes a lot more on the 50s but seems a lot more sturdy.

I think not. These are 84mm filters designed to be compatible with the Cokin P-series holder. The Z series filters are 100mm (4") on their narrowest side.

You can either do the 50mm or 35mm. Price is very different but either two will do the job great! I have both and use the 35 more because I feel like it is slightly sharper and it is better if you are in a smaller space.

Main difference is sensor. Both are exactly the same size and will probably fit in jacket pocket with lens such as 27/2.8. You should also look at Fuji x100s which has a shallow profile due to build in lens

35mm is just the film size the camera takes. 50mm is the lens size. whenever you buy film just buy 35mm

Thanks Kin.Actually, I'm looking for something smaller than a reflex on which I could occasionnaly use my nikon lenses.After using a bit an oly e-p2, i'm a bit confused ; it's better than I thought, and has the IS build in.Does anyone know if nikon will release a micro 4/3 camera soon ?

This is a very large lens. If you don't expect o go to full frame someday, look at the 1680 CZ. I HAVE OWNED THAT ONE AND it is ideal for the cropped sensor cameras.

I am not sure what you mean by "full frame". Can you clarify? Generally, when discussing cameras that are "full frame", the reference applies to the camera's digital capacity to provide an image which matches the 35mm format without cropping. If "full frame" is a critical component for you, it might be wise to consider a DSLR such as Canon or Nikon. This Leica does not offer interchangeable lenses and, off the top of my head, is probably considered a "crop sensor" type camera. I have not be disappointed by this camera's performance and ability to capture the images I'm after even at the full extension of the lens at a fixed f2.8 throughout the entire zoom range.

85 is considered a good focal length for portraits. the wider focal lengths like the 28 sometimes distort features. if you're using a crop sensor camera - a camera with an APS-C sized sensor, then it'll be a bit on the long end, so you might try a 50mm.

My question, is, if I use any full frame lens A-mount, there wont be any cropping factor?, but if I use any APS-C, like DT lenses there will it be?

I usually think of zooms for versatility, but if you were just interested in a prime, I'd say this one was the best combination. 14mm is too wide. 35mm a bit too close (remember it's actually closer to 50mm when you take into account the cropped sensor). 23mm is a bit more flexible as well as being a great lens.

It will look like a 65mm on your camera. Because of the cropped sensor. It's all up to your personal preference if you want a medium/tight lens or a wide one.

Actually, for portrait I really much prefer something like 85mm to have a really nice bokeh and isolation of your subject. A 35mm is awesome to have put not primarily for portrait because you will endup always being so close to your subject that it becomes almost embarassing!
