March 15, 2005: Local Cokin distributor, Maxwell Optical Industries, has just released some exciting new add-on lenses for camera phones and filter kits for digital cameras from well-known French manufacturer, Cokin.
Cokin’s new ‘Magnefix’ accessory lenses extend the coverage of fixed lens cameras, allowing camera users to record a wider field of view or ‘pull in’ distant subjects. Two phone camera lenses are available: the Magnefix 0.35X super-wide angle lens, which is ideal for group shots and landscapes, and the Magnefix 2X tele lens, which doubles the focal length of the lens. The tele lens is ideal for portrait shots and for bringing distant subjects closer. Both lenses are fitted to the camera with a stick-on attachment ring, which makes them suitable for almost every mobile phone on the Australian market. The Cokin Magnefix Teleconverter and Wide angle attachments are available now and retail at $109.

Cokin also has Magnefix tele-converter and wide-angle lenses for fixed-lens digital still cameras. They are available in two sizes that cover most digital cameras on the market.
Also available for fixed-lens digital still cameras are the new Cokin Magnetic landscape and portrait filter packs, both of which come with a filter holder and magnetic attachment rings. The Magnetic Landscape Pack includes a Sunset and Gradual Neutral Density filter to improve the clarity and beauty of landscape images. The Magnetic Portrait Pack consists of a Diffuser and Centre Spot filter for more creative portraits. The Portrait Pack has an RRP of $79, while the Landscape Pack is $89.
