Cokin filter

[tobester]

One for the more advanced users on here, was asked today can cokin circular filters be used with a cokin P filter holder?

TIA

I have a Cokin circular filter (a polariser) that fits into my Cokin holder. Whether or not it's a P-type, I couldn't say just now. I'll look it out later and see.

Having looked at the Cokin >> website, there's circular polarising filter that looks similar to mine. It's available in the P series and A series. Mine appears to be the A series, but I should imagine it works in a similar manner. The filter goes into the slot closest to the lens and clips into place whereupon it can be turned to suit.


This is the filter holder.


This is the ring that mounts the holder onto the lens.


Seen together with rule for scale.


..the ring slots into place like so...






Turn it the other way up...


...and fit the filter...

I have no idea what a Cokin filter is but I would like to congratulate our Bridge on a thoroughly comprehensive post that's obviously taken some time to construct.

Conscientious or what? Great work that girl.

Why, thank you Doorstop. I must confess to some embarrassment, however. I should have taken a photo of the assembly mounted on a lens for completeness.

Seconded. I was presuming it was something to do with Town Gas, personally.

Thanks brigit, much appreciated
