Customer Review: Almost worked, but there are issues to consider
Summary: 2 Stars
Was very excited to see that Cokin developed this rack for point and shoot, and they have thought of everything. The slots to accomodate all sizes of point and shoots. The slot allows it to be centered on the lens, and be correct depth away from the filter elements.
Guess they weren't expecting even larger lens sizes such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3/TZ7, with its 12x optical zoom. The lens just touches the filter when fully extended. That is one problem, but I figured I'd just it mostly for Wide Angle anyway.
And THERE was the problem. When shooting video on wide angle, the filter was perhaps an inch from the face of the camera, and the camera photographed the reflections of the chrome lens rings.
Then, the filter itself seemed to be so big that it blocked the autofocus lamp, so the footage was focused on the filter surface, lint and all. As this was such an inexpensive rack, I might try cutting away part of the rack holder AND the filters on the side that blocks the autofocus light. I suppose some sort of black matte mask can be created to hide the chrome. It might be that the only reflecting surface was the slightly beveled outer ring. Don't know if it is worth it, but was sure looking forward to the versatility that filters provide. Will also drill a 1/16" hole on the bottom to give me a bit more depth.
