COKIN, ALMOST 40 YEARS OF
CONTINUOUS INNOVATION
Jean Coquin creates the first line of photographic filters in CR39
®
, the “Rolls-
Royce
®
” of organic glass used for corrective lenses in eyeglasses. Veritable
material of the future –history would prove it! – , CR39
®
is light and
unbreakable, has an extremely high optical transmission factor and is perfectly
suited for tinting. It is the perfect base for making photographic filters, its
precision surpassing that of mineral glass. These will eventually become the
“CROMOFILTERS”, the first graduated filters to appear on the market!
Jean Coquin invents the SQUARE FILTER SYSTEM, devising a universal filter-
holder that will leave a permanent mark and has been often copied. It is
still being sold almost 40 years later – a record in the world of photography!
This clever filter-holder is completely unique and is then accompanied by a
complete line of 80 creative filters. It is introduced with a colour brochure
of 40 pages translated into 8 languages: the A system (67 mm) is born!
Presented at “Photokina” in 1978 , the product will enjoy an enormous
global success and will be immediately sold in more than 30 countries.
In response to new, wide-angle lenses and increasingly brighter optics,
COKIN launches its P system (84 mm) and improves upon its line of
filters exceeding by then 120 models.
The arrival of the auto-focus reflex camera put high-quality photography
within reach of the entire public. The perfect timing of its arrival on
the market, together with increasing demand for creative filters will
boost COKIN’s sales above all hopes, so much so that, twenty years
later, nearly 100 million COKIN filters have been sold in more than 100
countries. The A and P lines offer around 200 different filters.
COKIN launches the X-PRO System in response to the keen interest of
photographers in ultra-wide angle lenses. The system proves itself to be the
perfect solution to the problem of vignetting. COKIN filters can now be mounted
on the near totality of available lenses for photography, video and cinema.
This new system comes to the aid of specific classes of users: professional
cameramen and photographers working with large format cameras.
At the end of two years of research and development, the COKIN team
presents the Z-PRO System, a culmination of its technical knowledge,
precision design and workmanship. Created to respond to the needs
of professional photographers, it constitutes a practical, reliable and
ergonomic solution to numerous filtering problems.

The COKIN story is first and foremost the story of a man, its founder Jean Coquin, a
renowned French photographer who worked for the best-known brands and whose career
was marked by numerous innovations that revolutionized the world of photography.
It is also the story of a team that has never ceased to keep his vision alive, anticipating
the desires of photographers and videographers around the world. The creation of the
Z-PRO system is the resulting outcome.

SUMMARY
These photographs well illustrate the current trend
of the use of filters in photography: their purpose
is to harmonize, improve, or refine the vision of the
artist. At times, certain filters can even be combined
to create even more remarkable visual effects.
The range of COKIN Z-PRO products responds to
all of these expectations and covers all types of
photography: landscape, architecture, industrial, still-
life, portrait, fashion, beauty, wedding...
COKIN SIGNATURE PHOTOS
This system was intended for professional use. It is the
ultimate culmination of technical knowledge acquired
in four decades that COKIN has been in the business of
manufacturing precision photographic filters. The Z-PRO
System supports very specific professional applications
and offers accessories that find no equivalent elsewhere
in the market.
This system unmistakably facilitates the practice of
producing images: the use of filters becomes swift,
simple, and effective.
THE COKIN Z-PRO SYSTEM
THE RANGE OF Z-PRO FILTERS
This range contains close to 100 filters that cover
the entire set of needs of image creators, experts, or
professionals. It includes traditional technical filters,
equivalent to the well-known Kodak
®
gelatins, but also
filters that are specific to the COKIN
®
brand, such as
the neutral densitys, blue and tobacco graduated filters
(so often copied by others...), or the diffusion filters
whose quality, variety and uniqueness are universally
recognized.
These filters are as useful in digital photography as they
are with film, as needed in photography as they are in
HD video. They are the key to a creative universe limited
only by your imagination!
