The Cokin A Series Hard-Edge Graduated Tobacco 0.6 Filter is designed for use with a Cokin A Series Filter Holder. It can be used to add a tobacco tint to complement an existing sunrise or sunset within a scene, or to otherwise enhance a hazy or colorless sky. When used to enhance the sky within an image, the desired effect can be applied only to the sky, without any unwanted changes to any other part of the image. The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a hard-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas. A graduated filter with a hard-edged line of transition is useful for images which include defined horizon lines. This filter has up to a 0.6 density and reduces light from entering a lens by up to two stops.

This filter is made of durable, optical resin (CR39) and measures 1.6mm thick.

Q: 1. Will this filter kit work with a Fuji Fujinon SWD 90mm F/5.6 large format lens without vignetting?

A: Yes, 4x4 filters are great and will prevent vignetting issues more then a traditional threaded filter.

Q: 2. Is it possible to adapt this kit to a Hasselblad lens that uses the B60 filters?

A: Unfortunately, Cokin does not offers a bayonet 60 adapter ring to fit their Z series holder.

Q: 3. What is the difference between the Cokin P121 and the P121S graduated neutral density filters? Both are stated to be 3-stop graduated filters. Does the s version make a more gradual transition from clear to dark than the base 121?

A: The S version is a softer graduation

Q: 4. Which Cokin neutral density kit works with Sony a6000?

A: That will depend on the lens you are using with the A6000, not the camera itself. This kit comes with adapters for lenses with a 67, 72, 77 or 82mm filter thread.

Q: 5. Can this be used with the LEE 100 Filter or LEE Foundation system holder ?

A: I'm sorry, no, the Cokin A filter is too small to be used in the Lee filter holder.

Q: 6. Will the Cokin P-series filter holder fit my Rokkor MC W. and MC macro lenses?

A: As long as your Rokkor lenses have a standard filter thread between 48-82mm, and a focal length longer than 20mm, you could use the regular P-series filter holder with your lenses.

Q: 7. Horizontal or vertical orientation to the gradient?

A: It is horizontal.

Q: 8. Does this have a hard enough transition for a telephoto lens, like a 120mm?

A: Yes a hard transition filter such as the NiSi 100 x 150mm Nano Hard-Edge Graduated IRND 0.9 Filter (3-Stop) would be recommended for a lens in the 120mm range.

Q: 9. Can i use this with a Lee filter holder?

A: No, these Cokin Z filters are 1.6mm thick, while the Lee filter holder takes 2mm thick filters - they are too thin for the Lee.

Q: 10. What is the difference between the Cokin P121 and the P121S graduated neutral density filters? Both are stated to be 3-stop graduated filters. Does the s version make a more gradual transition from clear to dark than the base 121? Why would you use one versus the other?

A: I believe the S refers to soft indicating a softer transition from the neutral density region to clear. I use the S version when the scene I am trying to capture has objects (such as trees) extending into the brighter region (e.g. sky). I find the S version often works nicely when shooting some waterfalls and I want to have the foreground more exposed without introducing a hard transition line. If I'm shooting a sunset or sunrise with a strong horizon line I typically go with a harder transitioned filter.
