FAQs
Does this kit include a filter holder?
No, the Cokin NUANCES Extreme Smart Kit contains only the three glass filters. A Cokin P-Series (M Size) filter holder must be purchased separately.
Can I stack multiple filters?
Yes, the Cokin P-Series holder allows for multiple filters to be stacked, but be mindful of potential vignetting when using ultra-wide-angle lenses.
Are these filters glass or resin?
These filters are crafted from high-quality hardened tempered Schott optical glass, which is significantly more durable than resin alternatives.
How do I determine which size I need?
This is the M (P-Series) size. It is suitable for lenses with filter thread sizes up to 82mm, depending on your specific adapter ring.
Will these filters cause a color cast?
The NUANCES Extreme line is specifically designed for exceptional color neutrality, minimizing color shifts common in older or cheaper ND filters.
What does the reverse graduated filter do?
A reverse graduated ND filter is darkest at the center transition line and gradually gets lighter toward the top, making it perfect for sunrises or sunsets where the light is most intense at the horizon.
Troubleshooting
Visible light leaks appearing on long exposures
Ensure the filter is seated correctly in the holder and the holder is tightly secured to the lens adapter ring.
Stiff insertion into the filter holder
Check the filter slots for debris or grit, and ensure the rounded corners of the filter are properly aligned with the guide rails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this kit, slide your Cokin P-Series holder onto the adapter ring already attached to your camera lens. Insert the chosen 2mm filter carefully into one of the slots, ensuring it is fully seated before shooting to prevent light leaks. When cleaning, use a high-quality microfiber cloth and a dedicated optical lens cleaning solution. Avoid using abrasive materials that could compromise the nano-metallic coating. Store the filters in a padded, dedicated filter wallet when not in use to avoid glass-on-glass contact or accidental drops.
