Graduated Mauve Filter for Cokin A Series
The Cokin A669 M2 is a rectangular graduated fluorescent mauve filter designed for the Cokin A series filter holder. It adds a sophisticated mauve tone to dull or hazy skies, enhancing landscape images with a defined horizon line. Photographers who want creative colour control over bright sky areas will find this filter suited to their workflow.
Hard-Edge Transition Limits Use to Defined Horizons
The hard-edge graduation creates a sharp transition from the dense mauve edge to the clear centre, making it effective only when the horizon line is distinct and unbroken. Scenes with mountains, trees or buildings intersecting the skyline will show an obvious filter line, so the filter is not practical for irregular horizons. Buyers needing a gradual blend for uneven terrain cannot achieve it with this hard-edge design.
2 2/3-Stop Density Determines Exposure Balance
The filter provides a density of 2 2/3 stops at its darkest edge, graduating to clear at the middle, which sets the exact exposure reduction applied to the sky portion of the frame. This fixed density cannot be adjusted, so photographers requiring a lighter or stronger graduated effect must select a different filter strength. The single specification that decides suitability is whether this precise stop value matches the lighting conditions you typically shoot.

Questions about this item
Which density should I choose for a strong mauve effect on a clear horizon?
The A669 M2 provides a 2 2/3-stop density that is densest at the edge and graduates to clear at the middle, giving a pronounced mauve tone where you need it.
How does the 2 2/3-stop density translate when shooting a bright sky?
It reduces light by roughly two and two-thirds stops at the darkest edge, darkening the sky enough to add a visible mauve cast while keeping the lower frame unaffected.
What holder system does the rectangular A669 M2 fit?
It is designed for the Cokin A series filter holder, so the rectangular filter slides into that holder's slots for precise positioning of the hard-edged graduation.
