- Resin construction is more prone to scratching than optical glass filters

Frequently Asked Questions
What filter holder system does this filter fit?
It is designed for the Cokin Z Series (also known as Z-Pro) filter holder system. It will not fit the smaller Cokin P or A Series holders.
How does the graduated effect work?
The filter transitions gradually from sky blue at the top to clear at the bottom. You slide it up or down in the holder to position the color transition at the horizon line, tinting the sky while leaving the foreground unaffected.
Is this filter made of glass or resin?
Neewer square filters in this line are typically made of resin (CR-39 or similar optical resin), which keeps them lightweight and resistant to shattering compared to glass alternatives.
Can this filter be stacked with other filters?
Yes, Cokin Z Series holders support multiple filter slots, so you can combine this graduated blue filter with other filters such as an ND or polarizer, though stacking may introduce vignetting on wider lenses.
Does this filter affect exposure or white balance?
The blue-tinted area will shift the color temperature of the sky portion of your image cooler, and may reduce light transmission slightly in that region. You may want to adjust white balance manually when using this filter.
