- This is because you're not really using a neutral graduate filter, you're using
- a grey graduate filter. Some of the cheaper brands of grey grads have been
- known to give skies a pink cast, although this is the first I've heard of the
- problem with Cokin.

- Tiffen just came out with a line of filters that fit the Cokin P series holder.
- They have real neutral grads. They're quite a bit more expensive than the
- Cokin glass, but it may solve the problem.
