The 130 x 130mm Cokin NUANCES Extreme X-Pro ND Filter 130x130mm 10-Stophas a 1000x filter factor that provides a 10-stop exposure reduction and is designed for use with a Cokin X-Pro Series Filter Holder. Its 3.0 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

Cokin NUANCES Extreme filters are constructed from tempered, shock-resistant glass and feature nano-metallic alloy film coatings on both sides of the filter surface to attenuate infrared light while maintaining true color fidelity, even when stacked with other Cokin NUANCES or NUANCES Extreme filters. Anti-glare coatings further help to reduce surface reflections for increased contrast and clarity, while additional hydrophobic coatings result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency. Additionally, Cokin NUANCES Extreme filters feature C-shaped edges. This rounded edge shape resists chipping to further enhance durability.

For use with a Cokin X-Pro Series Filter Holder, a light-blocking gasket is included. This gasket forms a seal that is intended to prevent stray light, which could have unwanted effects on exposure, from coming in between the filter and the lens behind it.

Q: 5. What is the signifigance of no coating? Is this primarily a durability/longevity concern and would stacking multiple uncoated filters or mixing a coated filter and uncoated polarizer make a difference for my image?

A: The coating of glass surfaces used in filters and camera lenses is a long standing practice. It has been shown to significantly reduce wanted reflections. These reflections can reduce contrast, color and sharpness. Of course, coatings increases cost. I would say that the price of this filter is very attractive due because it is not coated. I am guessing that since this is a 10 stop ND, the manufacturer is regarding the dropping of the coating turns this into a win-win: you get 10 stops ND for less money.
