Cokin Filters for Minox

Cokin makes a filter system for point-n-shoot cameras. Has anyone tried this system on the Minox 35?

<p>

Thanks,

no, not tried yet.

but: there is a UV-filter for the Minox 35,

and this is made (as far as I know) from

Heliopan. This company do make all kinds

of filters, so they should also make other

filters of demand for the 35 (as special order).

There is an internet page: www.heliopan.de

It's right! Cokin made an adaptator for the compact cameras. It fits

PERFECTLY on a Minox 35. Rectangular filters are 2mm in front of the

lens, firmly attached. And the system IS NOT mounted on the fragile

lens, but on the bottom plate of the camera (using the tripod tread).

Unfortunately, I've been told that Cokin discontinued to produce

these adaptators. I've found a shop which sell them. They've got them

in stock since at least 5 years !

If you do not manage to find this Cokin accessory, send me an email,

I could buy one for you (of course, withour doing any benefit!). It

cost 10 Australian dollars.

There is a metal bracket mount for compact camera and digital camera

which has not filter thread

Look for ACCA: COMPACT CAMERA HOLDER

I've found the Cokin filter adapter for the P&S is less than perfect.

When mounted, it doesn't allow for the camera cover to be fully

opened. I've tried it only once on my GT-E and gave up. I'd like to

know if the advice that it "works perfectly" is based on experienc or

just reading an older Cokin brouchure. Seems we should be careful

with such evaluations when not actually trying the device on the

camera. BTW, I also have a Minox ML and the same results obtain:

totally unusable!!!

I suspect that Cokin had discontinued the older version of

filter adapter which Nicolas Oxtone used. Since newer compact cameras

are thinner, the revised filter holder fits the newer compact and

does not fit Minox, which needs more head room.

Since Nicolas Oxtone now runs

you may post a question and ask him about it
