Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Black anodized aluminum construction resists the corrosion and surface degradation that plastic B70 adapters develop after extended field use, particularly in humid or salt-air environments.
- Anti-reflective anodizing eliminates internal ring reflections that can degrade contrast when shooting into strong light with a filter stack in place.
- Provides access to the entire Cokin P-Series filter library — including graduated NDs, color grads, and creative effects — on Hasselblad B70 glass without permanent modification.
- Machined aluminum construction holds filter holder alignment precisely, preventing the rotational drift that misaligns graduated filter transitions mid-shoot.
👎 Cons
- The P-Series filter size is optimized for 35mm-format coverage — Hasselblad medium format users shooting at wide angles may encounter vignetting that the larger Cokin Z/X-Pro series would avoid.
- Front lens cap use is blocked when the filter holder is mounted, requiring an extra step to protect the front element during transport or between shots.
- No published tolerance specs or thread-engagement depth documentation, which makes it difficult to assess fit precision against the B70 bayonet before purchase.
- The adapter ring alone provides no filter effect — the value depends entirely on which P-Series filters are also purchased.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the P403 introduce vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses on the Hasselblad medium format system?
The Cokin P-Series filter holder is designed for 35mm-equivalent focal lengths — on medium format Hasselblad glass, the larger image circle increases the vignetting risk when using the P-Series holder compared to the larger Z/X-Pro series. For wide-angle Hasselblad lenses, verify coverage before committing to creative filter work on critical jobs.
Is the P403 aluminum anodizing durable enough for field use and repeated filter swaps?
The black anodized aluminum construction is more resistant to corrosion and surface wear than plastic alternatives, and the anodizing provides an anti-reflective finish that prevents internal reflections from degrading image contrast when strong light enters the filter stack from the side.
Can the P403 be stacked with another adapter or step ring to fit a different lens?
The P403 is machined for the Hasselblad B70 bayonet — it is not a threaded ring and cannot be step-ring adapted to other lens thread sizes. For other lens diameters, Cokin offers separate P-Series adapter rings in threaded sizes.
Does the P403 allow the Hasselblad lens cap to be used when the filter holder is attached?
Attaching the Cokin P-Series filter holder to the P403 ring will block standard front lens cap use. You'll need to either remove the holder between shots or use a holder-compatible front cover if lens protection during transport is a priority.
How many filters can the P-Series holder accept when mounted via the P403?
The standard Cokin P-Series filter holder accepts up to three P-Series filters simultaneously. The number you can practically stack without image-quality degradation from stray light or mechanical vignetting depends on the focal length in use.
