No, we aren't saying the same thing. The Cokin adapter is (to me) the entire Cokin system, including the lens adapter and the three slot plastic filter mount. I want to use the plastic slotted mount for my ND grads, which need to slide up and down and rotate. What I would also like to do is use my round filters in conjunction with the cokin ND grad filters. So, I want a sliding panel that I can slide into one of the Cokin slots, but I want to be able to screw in my round filters into the panel. Sorry if I'm not being too clear.
