What is included in the kit?
The kit includes a P164 circular polarising filter, a P154 full ND8 filter, a P121M graduated ND4 filter with hard-edged transition, an M-size P-Series filter holder, and a semi-rigid carrying case.
What size filters does this kit use?
It uses Cokin P Series filters, which are also referred to as M-size filters.
Do I need anything else to use this with my camera lens?
Yes, you will need to purchase a separate adapter ring that matches the filter thread size of your specific camera lens. The holder itself is universal but requires the correct ring to attach.
What is the difference between the P154 and P121M filters?
The P154 is a full neutral density filter that darkens the entire image evenly by 3 stops. The P121M is a graduated neutral density filter that darkens only part of the image (typically the top) by 2 stops, with a hard-edged transition line, ideal for balancing sky and land exposure.
How does the circular polarising filter work?
The polarising filter (P164) selectively blocks certain light waves to reduce reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water or glass, deepen blue skies, enhance cloud contrast, and increase overall colour saturation. The effect can be adjusted by rotating the filter.
Is the carrying case durable?
The kit includes a semi-rigid carrying case designed to protect the filters and holder from dust, scratches, and minor impacts during transport.
Can I stack multiple filters using the holder?
Yes, the P-Series filter holder is designed to accommodate multiple filters simultaneously, allowing for creative combinations like a polariser with a graduated ND filter.
