Cokin Graduated ND Filter Kit P Series, with Filter Holder & Graduated ND Filters (121L, 121M, 121S) 2017 CH250 CH-250

After reading the various reviews of mixed results, I decided to give these a try as I have an upcoming photography trip where this type of filter would be quite useful. These are actually quite good for the money; Well made, and a minimum of color cast which is what you tend to get with cheaper graduated filters. One thing I have noticed from experience, is the color cast present depends on what white balance setting your camera is on. Setting it on "daylight" tends to help. A truly great set for the price. The only thing I will say is because these are made of "optical resin", the image quality is quite good but they are very easy to scratch and a pain to keep clean. They take some care to use, but they are worth the effort. The sets out there where they're around 30 bucks and you get all the different colored ones may seem tempting, but this is truly a better investment without going into Lee or Singh-Ray territory.

I think the filters work well, but it is hard to carry them around and to find a good case for them, they need to include one.

Plastic is ok for me. I am an armature photographer who likes taking pictures of sunrise and sunset and sometimes landscape in general. These gradual ND filters allows for much more detail in a photo whit a bright background without over exposing the background while getting the details of the darker area in the foreground. I would recommend them. Like any lenses care must be taken when cleaning.

Get a bigger size holder to your lens. If not it causes huge vignettes on the corners.

Missing one important feature. It needs some anti-reflective coating on the filters. When shooting towards the sun, there is a massive amount of reflections between the filters and the camera. You will see the face of the lens show up in the image. It is unfortunate and the bane of my experience with this filter system. They do scratch easily, and they do affect the color of the image, but they are amazingly cheap to start with. So if you are unsure of if you want to get into the square filter collection, then I would recommend this. If you are confident that you want to use square filters, skip this kit and invest in a better system.

Tengo filtros Cokin desde hace 45 años y cumplen su función muy bien con las cámaras digitales actuales. En alguna ocasión usar dos filtros gradual ND +2 y +3 simultáneamente afectó un poco el color pero se puede corregir con el ajuste fino del balance de blancos de la cámara.

top quality....although plastic.....and does the job.

I bought this set to help with sunrise and sunset photography. It works.
