 Cokin Z-Pro filter holder introduction : After many years of R&D and following the success of its X-Pro Series System, Cokin is proud to introduce its new Z-Pro Filter Holder. The new Z-Pro Filter Holder is designed to fit both film and digital technologies in particular D-SLRs and video / broadcast cameras, either semi-professional or professional models (among them the new HD format). It is modular, it can be easily dismantled and set-up to be able to accept filters of 1.6mm thickness (which most photographers use), and 4.0mm thickness (often used in the Broadcast segment in popular dimensions such as 100x100mm (4”x4”) and 100x150mm (4”x6”). The Z-Pro filter holder is reversible.

 Cokin Z-Pro - Reversible holder
To prevent the risk of vignetting (dark edges around the picture), the Z-Pro series filter-holder is fully reversible, which means that a filter can fit in the adaptor ring’s slot and the adaptor ring can be fit in the first filter slot. Therefore the filter can be positioned very close to the lens and the edges of the holder are no longer an obstacle in the field of view. The Cokin Z-Pro filter-holder was tested (in the standard 3-slot version) and proved no vignetting on focal lengths down to 20mm.
Cokin Z-Pro - Fits lenses up to 96mm filter diameter
The Z-Pro filter-holder will fit a large variety of lenses thanks to a range of adaptor rings covering the popular diameters of 49mm up to 96mm. Additional rings designed for Hasselblad B60/B70 and Rollei are also available. The entire Z-Pro system is ideal to work with the newest generation of Digital SLR and Video cameras.
Cokin Z-Pro - Reminder on the Z-PRO range
The Z-Pro range of filters is made of organic glass with a very high optical transmission. It includes over 90 different filters designed to satisfy the needs of Pro Photographers and Videographers - including Correction / Conversion filters, Graduated filters, filters for Black & White, Soft filters, Neutral Density filters, etc. The Z-Pro range also includes a storage wallet for 5 filters (ref. Z306) and two filter kits with graduated filters selected from the most widely used versions:
