Filter Reviews

Add warmth to light and a pleasant tan to your photo. In general, they suppress blue casts on overcast days and on subjects lit by blue sky. These filters correspond to the Wratten Series 81 (81 A, B, C) and complement the Cokin blue filters (023, 024, and 025) which create cooler or bluer tones.

Helpful hints : Do not combine these with other color filters as this will destroy the subtle effects. But you can combine them with optical effects filters, including Pastels, Dreams, Star, Speed,etc. END

The Cokin Blue filters comprise two major groups : Color conversion (020, 021, and 022) and color compensating filters (023, 024, and 025). Color conversion filters correspond to the Wratten Series 80. They modify artificial light (2800 to 3400 K) for daylight type color film. In addition, they can introduce a deep blue cast to your pictures, thereby adding a touch of mystery. Conversely there are orange color conversion filters to adapt artificial light type film for daylight use (Cokin 029, 030, and 031), There are also weaker orange filters similar to the Blue series (023, 024, and 025) and Warm filters (026, 027, and 028). The color compensating filters subdue or suppress predominantly warm or reddish tinges that appear, for example, just after sunrise or just before sunset. For a more exotic effect, use these filters to give your subjects a bluish tinge, so you create an evening mood in the middle of the day or a presunrise morning light, or by underexposing one or two stops, moonlight.

One can't write much of a review about an ordinary plastic box that holds filters. Yes, it is useful and saves space in an already crowded camera bag, but the price is a joke. But nevertheless it is something one needs and therefore gets - no matter how ridiculous the pricing is.
