Cokin Z-Pro (100mm) Camera Lens Filters

Camera lens filters are accessories that attach to the front of a camera lens to modify the light entering the lens. They help enhance image quality, protect the lens, and create various effects. Choosing the right filter depends on your photography needs, such as reducing glare or enhancing colors.

Camera lens filters are used to improve photo quality by altering light before it reaches the sensor. Filters can reduce reflections, increase contrast, and protect lenses from damage. Consider what effect you want: polarizing filters reduce glare, while UV filters offer protection.

A neutral density (ND) filter is used to reduce the amount of light entering the lens without affecting color balance. This allows for slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions. ND filters are ideal for capturing motion blur in waterfalls or achieving shallow depth of field in daylight.

Camera lens filter size is determined by the diameter of your lens, usually marked on the lens barrel in millimeters (e.g., 58mm). Ensure compatibility by checking this measurement before purchasing a filter. Using an incorrect size can lead to vignetting or improper attachment.
