Cokin Z Series Black & White - Yellow / Orange / Red / Green - Resin Filter Kit - MPN: CU400-03
ThisCokin Z-Pro Series Filter Kitcontains four filters that can be used individually to improve the results of your black and white photography. The included filters consist of a yellow filter, an orange filter, a red filter and a green filter. Each filter can be used to increase image contrast between colors within a scene that match or are analogous to the filter's color versus colors within a scene that are complementary to filter's color. Additionally, the green filter helps to effectively separate various hues among green-colored subjects into black-and-white tones.
To allow these filters to be placed in front of a lens, a separately-available Z-Pro Series filter holder and a Cokin Z-Pro Series lens adapter ring are required. Each filter is made of durable, optical resin (CR39) and measures 100 x 100 x 1.6mm.
TheCokin Z-PRO 001 Yellow Resin Filteris normally used to establish a noticeable increase in contrast when using black and white film. This filter is specifically adapted to the Z-PRO Filter Holders and designed for medium format cameras as well as wide angle focal lengths below 20mm. This series is also well adapted to Broadcast.
The Z-PRO Series is recommended for focal lengths of 20mm onwards (in the 35mm format). This filter is made of CR39 Resin which is a reputable lightweight and unbreakable optical material also used for ophthalmic glasses.
Especially useful for added contrast between blue sky with clouds and foreground
TheCokin Z-PRO 002 Orange Resin Filteris a deep orange filter that darkens blue, violet, green and yellow-green. It is particularly useful for all landscape and architectural photography (on black and white film) requiring vivid contours. The sky is distinctly toned with the clouds clearly contrasted against it. It is suitable for landscapes and nature scenes.

Enhances landscapes, marine scenes and aerial photography
ThisCokin Z-Pro 003 Red filteris ideal for strong contrast improvement since it absorbs green and blue completely and enhances red. In addition to contrast control, red filters enhance skin tones, tonal corrections and are effective for more dramatic landscapes. When combined with a polarizer, the resulting image will increase the saturation of clouds making it appear that a storm is threatening.

Clouds are dramatically improved almost to the mood of a thunderstorm; darkens blue sky creating dramatic contrast between sky and clouds
It is more effective in cutting through haze, and moonlight effects are easily accomplished; creates greater contrast between foliage and flowers
It is also suited for infrared photography
TheZ-Pro 004 Green Resin FilterfromCokinis designed to create more contrast in Black-and-White images. It is ideal for landscape and nature photography, because it lightens greens and darkens reds. Therefore, making foliage appear brighter and creates separation between the dark and light tones.
The filter is square in shape and the width is 130mm, which is only compatible with the Z-Pro Series Filter Holder. The filter has a filter factor of 3.5, so the exposure should be increased by 2 & 2/3 of a stop to compensate. CR39 Resin was used to make the Cokin filter.
