Thanks useful information: 5
I was watching a photography tips channel on youtube and noticed that photographer has some kind of attachment in front of lens where he was swapping different kind of filters. Filter were square and i assume they can be fit to any lens.
I searched internet but couldn't find that kind of attachment.
has anybody used that kind of setup?
Cokin P System, Cokin Z-Pro System, Lee filter system..and more

There is a rumour going round that Cokin have gone under. When I was chasing adaptor rings a retailer told me they had received a letter fromt he supplier that Cokin was under Administration.Originally Posted by William

above link is 404
i was searching at wrong place. I was searching camera retailer's sites but didn't search for square filter on Google.
i am bit surprised as well that i never came across them before
I got this site:
http://www.cokin.co.uk
http://www.cokin.co.uk/pages/filters.htm
So basically, what are they? Easy to swap filters? Some of the stuff looks SO cool!

Decided to "shave" my signature ;]
Now mostly shoots with: Canon 5D MK3 & Canon 24-70 f/2.8/50mm f/1.8 (also have a 550D with a variety of lenses/goodies and a Sony Nex-5N)
PP with: Lightroom only, Photoshop is merely a 9-5 work tool for me.
The www.cokin.com site seems to have gone walkabout.
If you are doing landscapes and use graduated filters, the Cokin stlye filer is the best option by a long shot. Also, if you have a variety of lenses with different filter sizes, you can buy one set of filters and then an adapter for each lens.

Olympus Pen F with Metabones Speed Booster and Laowa 12mm f/2.8 or Voigtlander 10.5mm f/0.95 or Nikon D800 with the Laowa 12mm f/2.8. The need to keep in touch with the past is a Nikon Photomic FTn or Nikon F2A and a Nikkor 25-50mm f/4 AI
What's the use of the square filters?
Could always try using Instagram. lol
Not quite the same , In a nut shell , If your into landscapes and or Sunrises/Sunsets Putting on the set of Cokin,Lee, Sing Ray and others On the front of your lens , It's like putting on a pair of sunnies over the top half of the image, This helps to even out the exposure on the whole scene , Other wise if you expose for the sky , The FG will be dark , Visea versa, If you expose for the FG the sky will be blown out , You can also try manual exposure blending of two or three images in your editing program
