Overview

The Cokin A153 Gray ND-4 Filter is a neutral density filter that reduces the amount of light passing through your lens by 2 stops, effectively cutting light intensity to one-quarter. This makes it a practical tool for photographers who want to shoot at wider apertures for shallow depth of field in bright conditions, or who need slightly slower shutter speeds to capture motion blur in subjects like flowing water or moving clouds. Because it is a true neutral density filter, it achieves this light reduction without introducing any color cast, preserving the natural tones of your scene.

Designed for the Cokin A Series filter holder system, the A153 uses the rectangular slot-in format that Cokin is known for. This allows photographers to quickly slide the filter in and out, adjust its position, or stack it with other A Series filters for combined effects. The A Series is Cokin's most compact holder size, making it well suited for smaller lens diameters. While the resin construction keeps the price accessible, it does mean the filter surface requires more care than optical glass alternatives to avoid scratching over time.
