Product Description |
| Enjoy the creativity the Cokin system offers with your Point-n-Shoot camera. Mounts to the camera using the tripod socket on the bottom of the camera. Multi-position screw allows the mounting of almost any camera. If your camera does not has a tripod socket you can attach the filter holder with the supplied Velcro . Some long zoom cameras may not be able to zoom out all the way with a filter in the holder |

 A very useful device |

| This is a very useful device. However, you must be careful that you do not zoom the lens so far out that it actually touches the filter in the holder - which is very easy to do. While the holder will hold 3 filters, I cannot use it for more than one at a time do the lens projection on all of my P&S cameras. Nevertheless, when a ND grad will help your landscape, this is the way to go. The filter serves to expand the dynamic range of the camera and to better "equalize" the exposure of sky and landscape. Unfortunately I can't use a polarizer at the same time, even though there are slots for one. I have 5 P&S cameras, but perhaps other models would not have this issue. The holder itself seems well made, and overall, is recommended. |
Almost worked, but there are issues to consider

Was very excited to see that Cokin developed this rack for point and shoot, and they have thought of everything. The slots to accomodate all sizes of point and shoots. The slot allows it to be centered on the lens, and be correct depth away from the filter elements.
Guess they weren't expecting even larger lens sizes such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3/TZ7, with its 12x optical zoom. The lens just touches the filter when fully extended. That is one problem, but I figured I'd just it mostly for Wide Angle anyway.
And THERE was the problem. When shooting video on wide angle, the filter was perhaps an inch from the face of the camera, and the camera photographed the reflections of the chrome lens rings.
Then, the filter itself seemed to be so big that it blocked the autofocus lamp, so the footage was focused on the filter surface, lint and all. As this was such an inexpensive rack, I might try cutting away part of the rack holder AND the filters on the side that blocks the autofocus light. I suppose some sort of black matte mask can be created to hide the chrome. It might be that the only reflecting surface was the slightly beveled outer ring. Don't know if it is worth it, but was sure looking forward to the versatility that filters provide. Will also drill a 1/16" hole on the bottom to give me a bit more depth. |
