ADVANTAGES
On the market since 1978 and distributed in more than 100 countries, the COKIN CREATIVE FILTER SYSTEM launched a new concept of image creation. It is an original and universal System for a range of filters unique in its diversity. These elements contribute to its ever-growing success.
COKIN DIGITAL
Digital Professional photographers and keen amateurs highly value the RAW capture as they well know that any software manipulation would result in a loss of quality of their images. The same reckon that many of the COKIN effects can't be produced on computer whatever the performance of the software. This is particularly true with all effects related to light management (light polarization, light balance, brightness control, etc) where the quality of the image is fully related to light expertise at time shooting.
This is why most of them now combine the use of COKIN filters with post-production work. Filters not only offer an indispensable support but also allow a considerable amount of time saving in post production software job.
COKIN + COMPUTER
VARIOUS APPLICATIONS :

The COKIN Square System is type suitable to all lenses of compact type cameras, Bridge & camcorders, DIGITAL & ANALOG SLR cameras, Medium and Large format cameras, Video/ Broadcast cameras, Slide Projectors, including most wide-angle lenses in all those applications.
A SIMPLE PRINCIPLE :

Filter-Holder + Adaptor Ring :
The COKIN Filter-holder can be precisely adjusted and attached to the lens by means of a screw-in adaptor ring. A change of camera or of lens necessitates only a change of adaptor ring, not the Filter-holder nor the filters.

The COKIN Filter-holder has four grooves. One holds round filters, which can be rotated in the groove. The three others hold square filters which can be adjusted up or down at will.

- Same filter for all your lenses
by just replacing the adaptor ring.
- Rotate, slide, decentre in all directions
for more precision and creativity.
Free rotation :
The COKIN Filter-holder rotates on its own axis, guaranteeing flexibility of use and almost unlimited possibilities for the
positioning and combination of filters.



Autofocus :
Remove the nipple at the base of the filter-holder for free rotation with autofocus lenses. You merely need to hold the filter-holder horizontal with just two fingers.
SYSTEM ACCESSORIES :

The COKIN square filter System is reinforced by many tools dedicated to each of the 4 Series ( A / P / Z-PRO & X-PRO ) to go further into creative shooting (ex: coupling ring) or to facilitate the way to use the filters (ex: caps, hoods, storage boxes, etc...)
HIGH QUALITY FILTERS :

It is important that a filter matches the optical precision of a lens. Definition, contrast and colour reproduction must not be sacrified to creativity. That’s why all the filters are made of the material best adapted to the filter’s ultimate use, whether high tech organic glass (CR39) or mineral glass.

COKIN filters use the most advanced technologies. They are mostly made from organic glass, which is shock-proof, resistant to abrasion, and meets all necessary optical and chemical requirements.

It is on the basis of this quality standard that NASA appointed COKIN its official supplier for the Space Shuttle programme.

WIDE RANGE OF FILTERS :

The COKIN A & P Series include a complete range of over 180 filters for a maximum potential of creativity, while the Z-PRO & X-PRO Series contains over 90 filters among the most used by professionals.

FULL COLOUR INSTRUCTION BOOK :

Every Filter-Holder is provided with a unique, detailed and illustrative brochure showing many examples of creative pictures and giving all necessary technical hints.
