On the market for over 45 years the COKIN Creative Filter System launched a new concept of image creation. Using the most advanced technologies, the COKIN System is designed for all photographers, whether they are amateurs or professionals.
The key words are simplicity and rapid use, leaving room for individual inspiration and creativity. COKIN filters not only offer an indispensable range of options but also save a considerable amount of time in post production editing. The efficiency of the COKIN system has convinced millions of users worldwide. Perhaps, you are next?
Created by renowned French fashion and landscape photographer Jean Coquin in 1978, the Cokin Creative Filter System remains a staple of the international photography community. The system is based primarily on square or rectangular “drop-in” filters that slide into a filter holder. The holder mounts on lenses via a simple adapter ring of the appropriate size.
Most all Cokin filters are made from very high-quality, European produced optical resin know as C39. Jean Coquin chose this resin because of its optical clarity and stability. It is light and unbreakable, has an extremely high optical transmission factor and is perfectly suited for tinting. It is the perfect base for making photographic filters, its precision surpassing that of mineral glass.
The Expert Neutral Density Kit includes:
- Cokin Filter Holder
- 4 Cokin Adapter rings (52,55,58, &62mm)
- P121 - Graduated ND4 Hard (2 f-stop)
- P121M - Graduated ND8 Hard (3 f-stops)
- P153 - Full ND4 (2 f-stops) Microfiber Cleaning Cloth
Graduated Neutral Density (ND) Filters allow you to reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor on a portion of your picture. This helps control the exposure difference between Highlights and Shadows for a more balanced exposure and dramatic effect. By rotating the filter-holder and adjusting the position of the filter up and down you can precisely control where the filter has an effect on the image.
Adding a full ND filter allows you to reduce the exposure over the whole image. This helps you reduce shutter speeds to create blurred motion effects in water and clouds as an example.
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.
by just adding another adaptor ring.
for more precision and creativity.
The COKIN SYSTEM is also a complete range of more than 200 CREATIVE FILTERS made of high quality of optical material considered today as being part of the most advance technologies (extra light weight, highly resistant to shocks, excellent optical transmission, high compatibility to coloring etc.).

Most foreign countries impose a duty, customs charge or value added tax on items shipped from the US. This charge is added by the shipping company, not us, and collected at delivery. This money is collected by your government and none of it comes to us. Please check with YOUR postal or customs authorities to determine the amount and reporting requirements. We have a difficult time understanding our own tax system and we have absolutely no desire to figure out the customs of the 50 or so other countries we ship to.
