Cokin Nuances range ND filters
Redefining NUANCES Neutral Density filters, a new range of mineral glass ND filters. NUANCES filters redefine what neutrality means when talking about Neutral Density (ND) filters.
Cokin has developed a new coating process to ensure an uniform coloration. A nano metallic alloy is applied on both side of a highly resistant tempered Schott Glass B270, renown for its high transmittance and low reflection. The result is a stunning neutrality, completely free of infrared pollution. Multiple NUANCES filters can be stacked without color cast.
NUANCES filters are dedicated to long exposure outdoor photography or depth of field reduction, especially in filmmaking. The strongest density ND1024 filter allows a 10 f-stops reduction. It literally catches the light to create surreal images without color cast. NUANCES filters are available in six different densities : ND2, ND4, ND8, ND32, ND 256 and ND1024.
NUANCES filters have been designed to fit Cokin’s range of CREATIVE filter-holders, from M to XL sizes. The L size is compatible with standard matte boxes using 4”x4” (100x100mm) filters. NUANCES filters can be combined with other filters from the CREATIVE Filter System range for unlimited creativity.
ND32 or above filters in L and XL sizes come with a foam mask to be inserted between the filter and the filter-holder hence preventing light leaks.
Named after its founder Jean Coquin, a famous french photographer of the 70’s, Cokin is the inventor of the innovative Creative Filters System (adaptor ring + filter-holder + filters), the most popular filter system in the world.

Revolution of Canon EF lenses Over The Years: Canon’s 110 millionth EF Lens Celebration
Canon will celebrate the achievement of a new lens-manufacturing milestone with the production of the Company’s 110-millionth EF-series interchangeable lens for Canon EOS cameras on June 22, 2015 -an EF 11-24mm f/4L USM ultra-wide-angle interchangeable zoom lens.
Revolution of Canon EF lenses Over The Years
|
Model name |
Main features and technologies |
Launch date |
|
EF 300mm f/2.8L USM |
World’s first use of a lens-based Ultrasonic Motor (USM) USM technology delivers fast autofocusing thanks to its high torque and responsiveness. By converting ultrasonic vibrations into rotational energy, the technology makes it possible for quiet, smooth AF drive performance. |
Nov. 1987 |
|
World’s first use of Image Stabilizer (IS) technology Users can see the results of IS technology through the viewfinder. Delivering high precision and stability for exceptional image stabilization results, this technology expands the possibilities for handheld photography. |
Sept. 1995 |
|
|
World’s first use of a diffractive optical (DO) lens element Diffraction is an optical phenomenon in which light waves bend as they pass around the edges of an object. DO lens elements use this phenomenon to correct for a variety of aberrations by controlling the path that light travels. |
Dec. 2001 |
|
|
World’s first use of Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC) SWC technology minimizes reflections by aligning countless wedge-shaped structures more minute than the wavelength of visible light on the surface of a camera lens. |
Dec. 2008 |
|
|
World’s first use of Hybrid IS, which compensates for both angle camera shake and shift camera shake Employing a newly-developed algorithm, Hybrid IS optimally adjusts for camera shake based on information gathered by two sensors located in the lens. By precisely driving the optical correction system, the technology simultaneously corrects for angle and shift camera shake. |
Oct. 2009 |
|
|
World’s first fisheye lens to deliver both 180-degree diagonal angle of view and 180-degree circular fisheye The EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM lens enables the capture of images with dramatic deformations, exaggerated perspectives and extreme depths of field, making possible images that are significantly distorted, similar to what a fish might see were it to look skyward from under the water surface. |
July 2011 |
|
|
World’s first super-telephoto zoom lens to employ an internal extender Featuring a built-in 1.4x extender, the EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x’s lens zoom range can be expanded with a simple one-touch operation even in locations where users are unable to switch lenses. |
May 2013 |
|
|
World’s first lens offering ultra-wide-angle 11mm minimum focal length In addition to achieving the world’s widest angle of view starting at a minimum focal length of 11mm, the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM effectively corrects for aberrations commonly associated with ultra-wide-angle lenses, delivering superior image-quality performance. |

Available at : Adorama | B&H
Key features
- F Mount Lens
- 24-120mm (35mm Equivalent)
- Four ED & Three Aspherical Elements
- Nano Crystal & Super Integrated Coatings
- Fluorine-Coated Front & Rear Elements
- Silent Wave Motor and MF Override
- Nikon VR Image Stabilization
- Electromagnetic Aperture Mechanism
- Minimum Focus Distance: 1.2′
The new AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR is premium glass for those who desire a fast and highly capable wide-angle zoom lens. The lens features a popular, wide 24-120mm (FX-format equivalent) focal range, which makes it ideally suited for a variety of shooting disciplines. From wide-angle landscapes, tight portraits or for those looking for an all-in-one tool for travel, this lens does it all. The large f/2.8 – f/4 aperture lets photographers shoot in challenging light with ease, with the creative flexibility afforded by a shallow depth-of-field. Whether photographing friends’ faces or a festive plate full of local flavor, the 16-80mm’s fast aperture lets users blur the background to create that dramatic separation between subject and background that emphasizes and flatters a subject. For creative close-ups of everything from passion-projects to flowers, the lens has a very useful minimum focusing distance of merely 1.2 feet throughout the entire 5x zoom range.
To further enhance its low-light capability, the new NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4 lens also features Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization technology, which provides up to 4 stops of image stabilization*, helping to create sharp images while shooting handheld or in challenging light. As an added benefit to landscape and wildlife photographers, this lens features VR with automatic tripod detection, to counteract vibration when mounted on a tripod.
The new AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm F/2.8-4E ED VR boasts some of the best optical innovations from Nikon, and is the first Nikon DX-format lens to wear the gold “N” emblem, to indicate the presence of Nikon’s exclusive Nano Crystal Coat. This advanced optical coating significantly reduces instances of ghosting and flare for the highest quality images. The front and rear elements also integrate a fluorine coating to make it easier to remove dirt, moisture and smudges from the lens surface. This is also the first Nikon DX lens to feature an electromagnetic diaphragm; this innovation electronically adjusts the aperture within the lens, resulting in consistent exposure during high speed shooting.
The new NIKKOR 16-80mm lens features robust construction while retaining a lightweight and compact body. The lens features four Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) elements and three aspheric elements to further combat instances of ghost, flare and chromatic aberration. The lens is constructed of 17 elements in 13 groups, and features a seven-blade diaphragm to create a circular, natural bokeh for a pleasing out of focus area of the image. For fast, accurate and quiet AF performance, the 16-80mm also features Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) technology.
