The Cokin soft-edge 3-stop graduated Neutral Density filter helps darken specific areas of the image, like bright skies, while leaving other areas of the image unaffected. The filter is most dense at the edge and tapers to clear at the middle, with a soft-edged line of transition. A Neutral Density filter with a soft-edged line of transition is useful for images with an undefined horizon line, like mountains or city landscapes. Neutral Density filters do not affect the color of the image while creating a more balanced exposure.

Cokin filters were invented by professional photographer Jean Coquin. By using square filters like Cokin's, which fit into a holder and are attached to a lens via an adapter ring, the photographer has a number of immediate advantages. There is no need to duplicate filters to fit different size lenses, up to three filters can be used at once to create unique effects, and the photographer has control over the positioning of the effect on the photograph.

I love the filter. Exactly what I was looking for to help me tame the sun while doing those Sunset Beach Photos. But WTH Cokin????? I would have given this a 5 star review but Cokin took the cheap way out and did not include a protective case!!! It even shows the case in the Amazon photo of this item! I own many Cokin filters and every one came with a protective plastic case. If including the case cost another dollar or two, I would have gladly paid it! What am I going to do with this when it isn't attached to the holder on the front of my lens????

Possedevo già un filtro GND di altra marca, ma risultava una dominante viola negli scatti, ma questo della Cokin è semplicemente ottimo: nessuna dominante. Unico neo la confezione che non è rigida, per il resto consiglio l’acquisto. Ottimo, come sempre, il servizio Amazon.

Love my solid Cokins, but disappointed in this one. I tried to layer a solid neutral density Cokin with this filter, and it left a very strange very obvious purple cast where the two "neutral" crossed each other. So I won't be doing that anymore, but thought it might be useful in a scene with split lighting needs. I would have thought that they used the same coloring process for all of their neutral density filter's, but apparently notIf you are new to split filters, here is something to keep in mind. Even though you may have your lens stopped down to F16, your view finder views around f4. Meaning, The line of demarcation on your filter isn't where you think it is in your scene. F4 shows a very shallow depth of field as compared to F-16. If you have a depth of field preview button, do check that and adjust your filter as needed. Since this one has a gradual stop, it is at least a bit more forgiving, but you can still really make a mess of your horizon that might be too difficult to edit later

RAS - arrivé en 1 jour et parfaitement emballé.Je l'ai utilisé sans porte filtre à la main avec appareil sur pied! très pratique et permet de compenser les écrans ciel-paysage quand la luminosité est trop marqué.Je vais certainement en reprendre un avec un "stop" plus important pour les contraste supérieur.

Love this filter for me landscape photography.It allows me to cut down the intensity of the sky while keeping the lower part of the frame a few stops brighter.This helps me to achieve correct exposure across the inter image. Plus with the P system you can stack filter for greater ND or a effects.

Disappointed that these filters are now plastic versus glass. All my old Cokin filters are glass. Perhaps it was just where I was, but this seemed to attract dust where as I have not had that issue with my older filters. Still, it goes the trick until I can afford a higher quality filter. Long term I am concerned with how easily this may scratch. Time will tell.Update 3-26-14 - I meant do update sooner. I realize now I was mistaken. I looked at my other filters and they are not glass. They too are plastic. However, they do have a different feel to them though so I still think the newer filters are less sturdy. But with care they should be fine. Still not sure why it seemed to attract so much dust. May have just been a fluke. Still, it does the trick on a budget.

I wouldn't say this is an exceptional quality filter. However, for the price tag, this is a great GND filter. Recommended to all beginners and low budget photographers.

This is a great product, the plexi glass is high quality and certainly does it's job as a graduated ND filter.My only gripe is that I wish it came in a better case with it moving around and not being held firmly in place, it will end up with worn down edges and a scratched up ND filter. There are others out there with better cases, but for the price this does it's job. I ended up just replacing my case with a better one later on.

This was my first ND graduated filter. It works nicely. My two complaints are the it's plexi-glass, which will scratch over time and that the edges aren't rounded off. I, like most people, will be hand holding this when using it. These are made to be used with a holder but... Cokin knows people hand hold these most of the time so why not round the edges off a bit. Overall I am happy with it though.
