Wondering Wanderer: Review: Tian Ya Cokin Wannabe Square Filter Kit

Got the Tian Ya Cokin P compatible square filter kit from Tagotech last week. Got the premium kit which includes the following:

1x ND4 Filter
1x ND8 Filter
1x Graduated ND Filter
1x Graduated Blue Filter
1x Graduated Orange-Sunset Filter
1x Circular Polarising Filter CPL
1x 10pc Filter Box
1x Filter Holder
1x Adapter Ring (58mm for my 28-105mm USM lens)

You can check the set here.

Damage --> SGD91+ (incl freight)

It's a lot of stuff for the money I paid. So was pretty happy when it came through the post. The filters are plastic (btw so are Cokin's & Lee's). I don't have Cokin's or Lee's around to compare the quality but Tian Ya's looks decent, even and clean. The filter holder can hold and stack 3 square filters or 2 square filters + 1 CPL. The holder, unlike Cokin's or Lee's are fixed. Good thing is that it's not bulky so fix config is ok for me. It does look cheap but surprisingly holds the filters nice and secure. However, unlike the Cokin and Lee, the holder can't accommodate my lens cap or lens hood (The Cokin or Lee can do either one but can't remember which can do what though) Below are some sample shots I took this morning. All pictures are not post processed.

In conclusion, although I have not tested it much (especially it's durability), it's a nice value for money package. I'll be bringing it for my Australia trip next month. Let's see how it fare then.
