Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Cokin filters were invented by professional photographer Jean Coquin. By using square filters like Cokin's, which fit into a holder and are attached to a lens via an adapter ring, the photographer has a number of immediate advantages. There is no need to duplicate filters to fit different size lenses, up to three filters can be used at once to create unique effects, and the photographer has control over the positioning of the effect on the photograph.

Product Description

Cokin Sunset 1 (P197) & Sunset 2 (P198) filters recreate sunset at any hour of the day. These graduated filters are tinted over the entire surface, more densely in the upper portion to embellish the sky. They graduate to a lighter tint in the lower section to harmoniously complete the sunset effect

5.0 out of 5 stars Cokin P198 Sunset 2 Filter, February 5, 2001

This review is from: Cokin P198 Sunset 2 Filter in Protective Case (Electronics)

With a Cokin Sunset filter you don't need to wait till evening - you can simulate the colors of the setting sun in the morning or anytime. But you can't make 12:00 noon in downtown Los Angeles look like a warm, coffee-sipping, prairie sunset in Montana by simply slapping an sunset filter over the lens either. The two Sunset filters (197, 198) are graduated, the upper densely colored section highlights the effect of the sky, while the lower less dense section gives the rest of the picture the desired sunset effect. These filters can be combined with almost all other Cokin filters and attachments : Diffraction, Colored Varnish, Vaseline, Diffusers, Dreams, Split field, Polarizers, Super Speed, Double Exposure, Prism, etc.
