The Cokin A072 Wide Angle Grey 1 filter provides a larger center spot area than previous Cokin Center Spots. The filter has a clear spot in the center and allows for the portrayal of an object in a grey colored surrounding. The #1 (072) provides a lighter background than the darker #2 (073). The filter effect is directly influenced by the f-stop and the focal length. The transformation is softer with wider apertures. The size of the clear circular area increases relatively with the selection of longer focal lengths. The exposure determination should be done without the filter. If the camera has the capability of spot-metering, then one can measure with the filter in place.
This filter measures 85 x 85mm and fits the Cokin P series holder.
The Cokin 148 Wedding #1 White filter creates a softer image in the lower third of the image and up along part of both vertical edges. If the bride is seated while wearing a bright, white gown, the lower half of the image covering the gown will be slightly softened while the upper areas of the frame remain neutral.
This filter measures 85 x 85mm and fits the Cokin P series filter holder.
Cokin Diffusers have very little effect on the sharpness of the image. They merely diffuse highlights thus reducing contrast. As such, diffusers can be used to soften a landscape, or soften skin texture in a portrait to hide minor flaws. Cokin Diffusers are available in three grades, #1 (#083), #2 (#084), and #3 (#085) with #3 having the greatest effect.
This filter measures 85 x 85mm and fits the Cokin P series holder.
