Cokin adapter for Hasselblad
I have a 'blad 503CW with the CFE 2.8/80 lens and I would like to get an
adapter for the P series Cokin filters. I think what I need is the "Cokin Series P Hasselblad B60 Adapter Ring". Can anyone verify that? And on a somewhat related topic where does the "B60" designation come from for the Hasselblad lenses, I measured the bayonet diameter on the 2.8/80 lens and it is something like 64 mm or so depending on where you measure at. Is this just some kind of "nominal" size? Thanks! |

Can anyone verify that? That is correct. You would do better using filters (and adapters) from other manufacturers, like Lee or Cromatek. The Cokin thingies aren't exactly the best you can get.

Is this just some kind of "nominal" size? It is that, more or less. Derived from, not the size of the mount (which is about 67 mm), but the size of the filter - the glass bit - itself. |

Thanks for the response. I realize that the Cokin filters are not the best however I already have a number of them and so I just wanted to leverage them, if possible to do so at a low cost. |

But whatever you do, don't buy the particular one the link leads to. A 58 mm filter is way too small for bayonet 60 lenses. You need 67 mm filters. Thanks guys for the tips. I'll look into those options. |

A pro I know has a lot of Cokin filters that he uses for MF shooting (nature, landscapes). He mainly uses the grads for dusk or dawn shots. Despite the Cokins being plastic (acrylic?) his after 10 years were hardly scratched. He's a very "deliberate" shooter. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. |

The problem with Cokin filters is/was not that they are "plastic", and thus scratch more easily than glass filters. Lee or Cromatek filters, for instance, are also made of "plastic". The problem is/was with their quality: too many Cokins were/are uneven in optical density (not the colour - see later - but the material itself showing "schlieren"), warped and twisted, and not the right colour, or not evenly coloured. |

Be that as it may, the fellow in question uses only Cokin and he's a regular photog contributor to a few NA nature/outdoor rec. mags. Whatever harm they do to the photos would not seem to be apparent enough to matter. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. |
