For beginners okay for professionals garbage

Cokin basically offers a lot of fun for very little money.
For now, try and get to know the quality is quite ok.
Together with the filter holder and the lens ring you are well equipped for ambitious projects in landscape photography and does not have too deep into their pockets.

But the fun is, however, the more you use Cokin filters, all the more annoying.

Who value on great image quality and absolute color neutrality sets, desperately quickly.
Depending on the light, the color of the sky can sometimes stain reddish or purple. Perfectly!
Particularly unpleasant it is for additional use of strong gray filter. So if you want to spice up gray sky with purple, can let your creativity run wild;)
Seriously - that rarely lets himself with careful imaging again neutralize lossless.
And photographers who use to take pictures of such a vehicle, expect nunmal good quality!

Unfortunately quite annoying is the scratch susceptibility. One should really handle it carefully because the more scratches on the filter are, the useless, the photographs they shoot!
But even the greatest caution often does not help - you have to consider what kind cloth to moisture and dust away - as with plastic lenses of spectacles.

The matching Cokin filter holder is visible in photos with wide-angle lenses with focal lengths up to 12mm at the edges, here helps only to 13 - 14 mm "zoom" or just leave it.
While keeping the filter without bracket front of the lens is a solution, but who wants that, especially one produced by and ankh again scratches (and of course blurred images).

These are reasons that are not encourage to buy - unfortunately Cokin is almost unrivaled in this country! The counterpart tech filter provides the same quality at almost the same low price. Can you give yourself so.

Will the quality Lee filter systems, which are to get in this country only in absolute specialty stores - if you are ever available!
These appear (approximately 4 - 5 times of Cokin filters) the high purchase price, however, to its value.
Some might think, why so much coal in filter to invest.

If one has ordered the third Cokin filter within one year, one no longer asks this question.
