5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, good build., March 19, 2007

It has worked good for me in the field. Usually I'm breaking it out in a hurry during changing light conditions. In a pinch, it goes on quickly and smoothly without cross threading, then the Z holder pops right on, ready for filter.

The Cokin 77mm Z series adapter ring works fantastically as advertised, and as the previous review said it does screw on and off very easily. It is solid, does its job of holding the filter holder on, etc..

The problem comes when you take a photo of something bright (which is pretty much what these things are for) and you get a burry white arc from the reflection of the text "COKIN - Ø77 - th 0.75 - FRANCE" that is painted on the outside of the adapter.

The only way to fix this is to paint over it, which is what I intend to do today. If I wanted DIY, I would've done it myself, so instead of rating 5 stars, I'm rating 2 stars. I'll rate 5 if they ever fix this and send me one that doesn't have the problem.

1.0 out of 5 stars Works but print is reflected and captured in images, May 10, 2009

As another reviewer noted, this adapter works but the white print on the adapter ring reflects off the lens-facing side of the filters in bright sun light and so is captured in the pictures. Considering that, I have to wonder what kind of testing this product went through before being released. I used a black permanent marker to color over the white lettering but it also reflects light so care must be taken.
