Cokin P - Style Filter Holder for G11/G10 Part B
Now you can add ND, ND Grad, or any filter that fits the Cokin P holder (84mm wide filters) to the Lensmate G10 72mm lens adapter without vignetting at any focal length.
The Cokin P style holder snaps into the groove of the Lensmate G10B. With a round 72mm low-profile polarizer attached to the lens adapter, there's room for 1 square filter (if you're careful, you can use get a second one to just clear the polarizer). Without a polarizer, all 3 slots can be used.
Directions:
Simply snap the holder into the outside groove of the Lensmate G10B 72mm lens adapter (with or without the polarizer in place). Then insert square filter/s and adjust if necessary.
Note: To prevent the filter holder from turning too freely, a small black elastic band is included with the purchase of a Cokin P Style filter holder which is placed in the 72mm lens adapter groove before attaching the filter holder.
Cokin P - Style Filter Holder 72mm
If you can tolerate a little vignetting, you can use all three of the filter holder slots and a polarizer by using the 72mm Cokin P adapter ring. The polarizer goes onto the G10A+B first, the adapter ring screws into the polarizer, then the filter holder snaps onto the ring.

It's easier to adjust the polarizer before attaching the square filter holder, though it can be done afterward by rotating the entire assembly (always clockwise to avoid unscrewing the adapter ring). Then, while holding the polarizer from turning, adjust the filter holder so the slots are vertical (again only turning clockwise). It's not as difficult as it might sound - once you actually set it up on the camera it's easy to figure out.
