Overview — Cokin X164

The Cokin X164 is a 130mm Circular Polarizer filter designed for use with large-format lenses and professional imaging setups. With a filter thread size of 130mm, this is a substantial piece of glass built to accommodate wide-diameter front elements found on high-end professional lenses. Circular polarizers are a staple tool for photographers working in landscapes and outdoor environments, where managing light behavior is critical to achieving clean, well-exposed images.

The circular polarizer design allows for compatibility with autofocus systems in general use, though this particular filter is operated manually — the rotating front element is adjusted by hand to dial in the desired polarization effect. At 130mm, the Cokin X164 sits firmly in the professional filter category, where size and optical coverage are necessary for lenses that simply cannot be served by smaller filter systems. The filter type is confirmed as a Circular Polarizer, making it suitable for reducing reflected light from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, and foliage, as well as deepening sky tones when shooting at the appropriate angle to the sun.

Part of Cokin's X-Pro Series lineup, this filter is built for shooters who need reliable polarization control at the large-format end of the spectrum.
