This 84 x 100mm Cokin NNUANCES Extreme P Series Soft-Edge Graduated Neutral Density Filter Kit contains three graduated neutral density filters that are designed for use with a Cokin P Series Filter Holder. Each filter within this kit helps to darken specific areas of an image, such as bright skies, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. The filters are densest at the top and taper to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas. Neutral density filters with a soft-edged line of transition are able to filter the sky while minimizing their effect on the land. They are particularly useful where the transition between sky and foreground is indeterminate, such as images featuring mist, fog, or the tops of trees. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and these filters provide up to a 2-, 3-, or 4-stop reduction in light from entering a lens.

Cokin NUANCES Extreme filters are constructed from tempered, shock-resistant glass and feature nano-metallic alloy film coatings on both sides of the filter surface to attenuate infrared light while maintaining true color fidelity, even when stacked with other Cokin NUANCES or NUANCES Extreme filters. Anti-glare coatings further help to reduce surface reflections for increased contrast and clarity, while additional hydrophobic coatings result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency. Additionally, Cokin NUANCES Extreme filters feature C-shaped edges. This rounded edge shape resists chipping to further enhance durability.

For use with a Cokin P Series Filter Holder or a Cokin P Series Wide-Angle Filter Holder, a light-blocking gasket is included. This gasket forms a seal that is intended to prevent stray light, which could have unwanted effects on exposure, from coming in between the filter and the lens behind it. A microfiber cloth is also provided for cleaning and maintenance of the filters.

A: The B&W will be a better choice, much less color tint, less resolution reduction, and vignetting on both filters is very minimal.

Q: 6. The numbers on the filter dial, are they 'optical density'? What is the maximum density in stops?

A: The KIPON Mark 3 Neutral Density Autofocus Lens Mount Adapter for Canon EF-Mount Lens to Sony-E Mount Cameras would go from 5 stops which is indicated by the 1.5 mark to 24 stops which is indicated by the 7 mark.

A: This umbrella is 7 feet across or 84”. While this model only comes in a 7 ft size, the Photoflex 72" Shoot Through Umbrella B&H # PHU72ST would be closest to 6 ft.

Q: 8. Does the filter have any colour cast? I'm needing a high-quality filter that doesn't take away sharpness or change the colour is this suitable? Does it allow smooth electronic image stablisation and iris control on canon lens?

A: This adapter will allow for the use of Image Stabilization and aperture control on a Canon EF lens. There have been no reports of a color cast or a reduction in sharpness when using the built-in ND filter.

Q: 9. I'm wanting to use this on a sony fx6 with has it's own in built electronic Vari ND which when using with mechanical variable in the creates funky unwanted colour shifting in parts of the image because effectively you have to polarizers. I'm assuming that this would have the same effect? In which case do you sell this item without the variable ND filter and I purchase my own solid 37mm ND filters to place in the tray? Will it fit any 37mm filter with out it being tight or moving around? Thanks

A: This does incorporate a Variable ND filter. There have been no reports of a color cast or a reduction in sharpness when using the built-in Variable ND filter. Unfortunately this is not available as an adapter without the Variable ND filter. This does accept 37mm filters. It should work with 37mm filters of standard thickness.

Q: 10. I have a godox ad400 and use bowens mount. Will this setup work with a bowens mount?
