Cokin A Series Filter List
From a young age, I have been fascinated by the diversity & creative appeal of the Cokin A Series drop-in/square filter system.
I have compiled a LIST OF COKIN A SERIES FILTERS here, with sample images, variations, & other details.
Cokin is a French creative filter manufacturer created by photographer Jean Coquin in 1978. They continue to offer a range of filters across a range of sizes including P series, X series, & Z series.
Non-numbered & special edition filters are at the end of the table.

The Cokin A series of filters are diverse, absurd, imaginative, & embody the spirit of a time in which they were used most plentifully. A select few of these filters command a high price even today as a younger generation of photographers discover the benefit of having things look different in contrast to the over-sharp, perfectly balanced dross of today. These filters often lead collectors on a maddening chase. Luckily, some filters can be found stacked high to the heavens & beyond cough sepia filter cough and anyone can begin the slippery slope into the colourful madness of Cokin filter collecting. Be warned, the Cokin collection can get out of hand, what seems like a manageable amount can soon become a waking nightmare. You have been warned.
