Description
One of the reasons of the Cokin success story is that Cokin is permanently in close contact with both professional and amateur photographers and videographers, so as to listen to their ideas and precise needs. The products launched by Cokin are therefore always perfectly adapted to real needs.
Cokin filters were invented by professional photographer Jean Coquin. By using square filters like Cokin's, which fit into a holder and are attached to a lens via an adapter ring, the photographer has a number of immediate advantages. There is no need to duplicate filters to fit different size lenses, up to three filters can be used at once to create unique effects, and the photographer has control over the positioning of the effect on the photograph.

P209 Multi Parallel
[ Posted: 2001-04-07 ]
This Cokin attachment creates parallel multiple images. Unlikeconventional filters, you can adjust the effect, either by rotatingthe filter holder or by shifting the filter itself. Like the CokinSuper Speed (217), the Multi-Parallel keeps part of the imageunaltered to accentuate the special effect. For best results selecthigh contrast scenes : Simple shapes, neon signs, trees silhouettedagainst the sky. Even portraits can become amusing caricatures.Through the use of double exposure, you can achieve more compleximages. First, expose a picture without the Multi-Parallel (though anyother filter may be used). Then, superimpose a second exposure on thesame film with the Multi-Parallel filter. Or you can project your oldslides on a screen (or matt drawing paper) and rephotograph themthrough various Cokin, filters. You'll be surprised at howsophisticated the effects will be.
Helpful hints: As with all Cokinfilters, make sure that wide-angle, lenses do not vignette theimage. Also, don't stop down too much with the Cokin Multi-Parallel orthe filter, rather than the effect, will become visible. This filtercan be used with practically all other Cokin System filters especiallythe Stars, Color Filters or other Cokin Multi-image attachments...
