Once an adapter ring has been mounted on the lens filter thread, the holder can be clipped onto the adapter. The Starter Kit comes with 72mm, 77mm and 82mm adaptor rings, but you can buy the frame and adaptors separately (Image credit: Angela Nicholson/Digital Camera World) I lost a screw or two in the process, but thankfully, Cokin provides a couple of spares with the frames. The tab is secured on the frame by two tiny screws and though they are easy to remove, refitting them is a frustratingly fiddly job. The filter is held in the frame by a small aluminum tab which must be removed to allow the filter to be slipped in. It’s also something really only want to do once, so it’s well-worth ensuring that you have a frame for every filter that you’re likely to use. This is not something you want to do out in the field. These ball bearings fit into slots in the filter frames so that the filters slide smoothly into place.īefore you use a filter, it needs to be mounted in one of Cokin’s filter frames. Most filter holders have slots for accommodating the filters but the NX Filter Holder has two rows of four ball bearings on either side.
