Difficult to use and there are no guidelines as to what aperture or focal length create optimal results.

Center Spot filters are the perfect solution to the problem of background composition. Whether Surrounding area should be of the same color as the subject or of a contrasting color is a matter of personal taste. When the light source is behind the photographer, the center spot filter appears dense. With backlighting, particularly if the light strikes the filter directly, a soft. And glowing effect is produced. The size of the central area also depends on the groove into which the filter is inserted. Filters 060-068 are recommended for focal lengths between 50 and 250 mm, 070-078 for focal lengths between 20 and 40mm.

has a clear spot in the center which has no filter effect. The surrounding area is colorless with diffuser effect.This means that the subject in the center of the picture is reproduced clearly while the surrounding area which is often distracting is changed, usually colored or darkened. The main area of use is for portraits. The transition from subject to background, and also the size of the clear circular area, depend on focal length and aperture. The transition is more gradual when the aperture is opened wider. The circle becomes larger as focal length is increased. The circle becomes larger and less clearly defined if the filter is placed further forward. The distance between your lens and the Center Spot filter can be varied by using the Cokin Modular Hood and a Coupling ring .

Star filters are a "must" in your camera bag. They magically produce brilliant stars of light whenever the sun features in a photo. Strong light reflections or artificial lights photographed at night also result in dramatic photos. Depending on the properties of the filter, you get points of light surrounded by 2, 4, 8 or 16 rays.(058, 057, 056, 055) The best effect is achieved against a dark background and with a relatively short exposure. The stars can be positioned as desired by turning the filter. The more powerful and point-shaped the source of light is, the more intense and longer the rays of the star. They also cause a certain degree of contrast reduction. They can additionally be used as soft-focus attachments . The Cokin Star filters can be used with all other Cokin filters

Thanks to the unique Cokin filter holder, you can combine this type of filter with square filters. With a Coupling Ring and another filter holder, you can combine two Cokin Star fiIters to increase the number of sars, although diffusion will be more noticeable.
