i have an assortment of Cokin filters in defferent colours and an adapter..

i have no idea what they are worth. would someone be willing to give me a little cash for these?

i have the following;

A. 001 - Coef. + 1/3 Yellow
A. 002 - Coef. +1 Orange
A. 003 - Coef. +3 Red
A. 004 - Coef. +2 2/3 Green
A. 005 - Coef. +3 Sepia
A. 027 - Coef + 1/3 Warm (81b)
A. 028 - Coef + 1/3 Warm (81c)
A. 084 - Diffuser 2
A. 122 - Gradual B1
A. 160 - coef. +1 2/3 Pola
 
A: You cant sell in here, stick it in MM
B: Yes (edit: ooh, I guess these are Cokin A series?) if thats the case, its a no unless you have the mount etc
 
yay ive just found out i can use these with my recently purchased Fuji S9500.

so would anyone like to tell me what they're are used for?

The first 7 are colour correcting filters, they simply add a colour cast to warm or tint an image. In the digital world you're better off applying these effects in Photoshop or the like.

084: Gives a soft focus effect to the image, another effect which can be achieved in Photoshop.

122: This is a graduated blue filter, blue at one end fading to clear at the other, used to create bluer skies in landscapes. Again an effect which can be applied in Photoshop.

160: This is a linear polarising filter used to reduce reflaections from water etc. The problem is it's linear rather than circular so could cause the camera's autofocus to have problems locking on. It's also difficult to see the effect of a polariser on the screen of a non SLR camera.
 
Im looking to do some long exposures in normal lighting so ive been told i need a Natural density filter.. so..
