The future of Cokin and it's filters is still really unknown. There were some rumors that Kokina had bought the now bankrupt french filter company, but personally I haven't heard anything definitive. The supplies of Cokin filters are dwindling, and the actual lens holders are almost impossible to get. As the owner of the Cokin P Series, I've been always on a hunt for different filters. Lately I've turned to Ebay, as there seem to be a lot of filters for the Cokin P Series, straight out of China. They were fairly inexpensive, so I ordered them. Once they arrived, and decided to take them out for a little spin at Elk Island. There are 6 filters in all, ND8, ND4, ND2, graduated ND, graduated blue and graduated orange. I was a little surprised that the ND filters turned out to be more purple/orange instead of grey, but I can definitely work with that. No complains just a bit of a surprise. Here are some shots taken with the filters. The last image is with ND8, ND4, and was a 25 sec exposure. Enjoy
Filtering Elk Island
It was a promising day, for a very nice sunset. As everyone know sunsets are my weakness. So I gathered the family, and off we went to Elk Island National Park. This time I decided to change it up a little. A while back I have gotten myself a set of Cokin filters. We were discussing them at length with a fellow photographer (whom I admire very much). The main thing is that they are really hard to come by. I think the company went bankrupt, and completely disappeared. I haven't been able to find any pertinent news on the web at all about Cokin filters. So as a little reminder I took them along, and here are the results. Enjoy.
