What filters are included in this kit?
The kit includes three soft-transition graduated filters: a Gradual Neutral Density ND8 (P121S), a Gradual Blue (P123S), and a Gradual Tobacco (P125S).
Does the kit include a filter holder?
No, the kit contains the three filters only. A compatible Cokin P-series filter holder and the necessary adapter ring for your lens must be purchased separately.
What is the strength of the ND filter?
The Gradual ND8 filter provides a 3-stop (ND8) density reduction.
What is the difference between a soft and hard transition filter?
Soft-transition filters, like those in this kit, have a gradual blend from the dark or coloured area to clear, ideal for scenes without a stark, straight horizon line like mountains or trees. Hard-transition filters have a more abrupt line, suited for flat horizons like seascapes.
What lens thread size are these filters for?
These are square P-series filters, not screw-in types. They require a P-series filter holder, which then attaches to your lens via an adapter ring. You must purchase the adapter ring sized for your specific lens filter thread (e.g., 52mm, 67mm, 77mm).
Can these filters be used with digital cameras?
Yes, these filters are fully compatible with both digital and film SLR or mirrorless cameras, provided you have the correct filter holder and adapter ring for your lens.
What is the primary use of the Gradual Tobacco filter?
The Gradual Tobacco filter adds a warm, amber-brown tint to the sky or upper portion of an image. It is used to create a dramatic, cinematic, or vintage-looking atmosphere, often at sunrise or sunset.
