Reports that the manufacture of Cokin filters have been suspended due to new UK government regulations have been categorically denied by Marc Heinz, Director of Sales at Cokin, France. Cokin exports 95% of its products to 116 countries worldwide and was in the process of upgrading equipment used to process the CR39 resin - the high quality plastic used in the spectacle industry - when teething problems were encountered. Marc Heinz commented that, "there were no problems with regulations, we were modernising our equipment to maintain the very high quality of the products and there were some problems with the machinery." This led to a delay in new stocks going out and rumours of regulation issues. Cokin assert that the situation has been remedied and production is back to normal.



Cokin filters are available through Intro 2020, further information about Cokin filters is on cokin.
