Cokin W400-03 XL Square Black & White Filter Kit

The Cokin W400-03 XL Square Black & White Creative Kit is a purpose-built set for photographers who want hands-on control over contrast and tonal relationships in their monochrome images. The kit includes four filters — Yellow (001), Orange (002), Red (003), and Green (004) — each designed to lighten its own color and darken opposing tones in a scene. Used individually or in combination with your camera's monochrome mode or post-processing workflow, they allow you to shape the mood and drama of a black and white photograph in ways that digital sliders alone cannot fully replicate. The 130mm x 130mm XL format is sized to cover wide-angle lenses without introducing vignetting at the edges.

Made in France from Cokin's proprietary optical resin (CR-39), these filters are lightweight and shatter-resistant, making them practical for field use. Each filter comes with its own protective case, and the full kit fits easily into a camera bag. The yellow filter provides a gentle enhancement that slightly darkens blue skies while maintaining a natural look. The orange filter takes this further, producing more defined clouds and smoother skin tones. The red filter is the most dramatic, turning blue skies nearly black and creating bold, high-contrast images. The green filter is particularly useful for landscape work, separating similar green tones in foliage and rendering skin in a natural, flattering way. To use this kit, you will need a Cokin XL (X-Pro) series filter holder and an appropriate lens adapter ring for your lens diameter.
