Great Histogram Fixer
By JCozenVerified Reviewer from Oahu, HI on 8/6/2010
Pros:
Easy To Use
Describe Yourself:
Photo Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Cokin Cokin Series P Grey Graduated Neutral Density Filter ND8X:

Great to correct a histogram that shows a peak in the dark range and a second peak in the very bright range. Using this filter allows the exposure to be more consistent. A grouped histogram allows better manipulation of brightness and contract without blown or underexposed pixels.

color cast, otherwise great

Comments about Cokin Cokin Series P Grey Graduated Neutral Density Filter ND8X:

Mine has a slight magenta color to it, only in the darkened half. I actually like the effect it has on sunrise/sunset photos, which is what I mainly use this filter for, so I didn't bother trying to return it.

Comments about Cokin Cokin Series P Grey Graduated Neutral Density Filter ND8X:

I bought this filter to help me deal with bright sky backgrounds. My first use of the filter was in Spain where we had very bright light much of the day. Since I was not able to always time my photography due to travel, the filter really helped with situations with particularly bright light in the background. Blues in the sky were deepened and the balance of light in the photo was really good.

Comments about Cokin Cokin Series P Grey Graduated Neutral Density Filter ND8X:

I already had the Cokin ND4X graduated filter, but I found that it wasn't enough for many situations with bright skies. So far the ND8X appears to be doing a great job. I still need to test in more extreme situations, if the skies would ever clear up here in Portland. But even with cloudy skies, the results were interesting/dramatic.

This is a good filter to add to your collection!
