Cokin U3H4-22 Expert Kit for Z Series

Through the use of Cokin Neutral Density Filter and Cokin Gray Gradient Filters, photographers and filmmakers can influence the light hitting the sensor as needed and desired.

In many outdoor photography or landscape photography situations, the contrast between the ground and the sky is extreme. If the subject is to be correctly exposed near the ground, the sky may eat away at it and image information is lost. If the sky is to be shown to its best advantage to conjure up a bit of drama in the picture, the background will most likely be underexposed.

Without graduated filters, photographers and filmmakers alike are forced to find a compromise, which often ends in flat, low-contrast images. With the use of Cokin graduated filters, this problem can be solved easily and quickly. By gradually darkening, the darker parts of the image can be perfectly exposed, while the sky can be darkened by using the appropriate graduated filter. So no image information is lost, which will be confirmed later, by photos with incredible intensity.

Since it is a plug-in system, the graduated filters can be used to set the area to be darkened easily but exactly where the photographer wants it or the composition requires it. There are no limits to creativity. Because other possibilities can also be implemented with the Cokin Filter Kit. Foggy-looking streams, distorted cloud formations or simply photographing or filming with an open aperture, even though the lighting situation no longer permits this.

The Cokin Expert Kit is suitable for lens diameters from: 49 mm - 96 mm. There are three different filters in addition to a filter holder and the four adapter rings:

The ND4 gray filter (N° 153) reduces the incident light by two stops. The GND8 graduated filter (N° 121) partially reduces the incident light by 3 f-stops, while the GND4 filter (N° 121M) provides a gradual darkening of 2 f-stops.
